Trasological expertise can also detect facts which are spatial, functional, structural, dynamic and some other characteristics of trace-forming process and special features of trace-forming objects. Trasological examination may include questions on the presence on the scene objects of the traces of interaction with other objects, the suitability of these traces to be identified or the presence of the features that guide the search for these objects.
