Trace evidence is a general term used to describe  various relatively small pieces of evidence that can be evaluated  scientifically. Such evidence can include such items as hair, fibers,  paint chips, glass fragments, soil, gunshot residue, accelerants, and  explosives. With certain types of evidence, the mere identification of  the trace evidence may have significance in a particular case, for  example, the identification of gunpowder on the clothing of a shooting  victim. With other types of trace evidence, crime laboratory scientists  may be able to “match” or “associate” a particular piece of evidence  collected from a crime scene to a course, uncluding the alleged  perpetrator of a crime.

For example, a paint chip collected from the clothing of a  hit-and-run pedestrian victim may be matched to a specific vehichle.  Forensic pathologist interaction with trace evidence analysts is usually  via the recognition and collection of pertinent trace evidence on a  body by the forensic pathologist with subsequent submission of the  evidence to the crime laboratory. Trace evidence evaluations typically  occur within the larger setting of a crime laboratory.
