Questions about the time when bloody traces of past events are created, which enable the reconstruction of past events, occupy a special place in the field of forensic science. Paradoxically, the growing knowledge about the aging processes of blood – and thus the increased awareness of factors that can interfere with these transformations – does not bring us any closer to solving the problem of dating forensic traces. The problem seems to lie not so much in the lack of analytical tools enabling the tracking of time-dependent properties of the material, but in the inability to implement the proposed methods for routine analyses, in which – apart from the passing of time – the state of the evidence is influenced by a number of external conditions. The solution may be a strategy tailored to the specific traces secured on site, which is being developed by researchers from the University of Silesia in Katowice in cooperation with Italian scientists.
