    Medical professional here. For those who are curious, I had a ton of fun ID'ing them for you guys!
    13:35 - fragment of a fibula
    19:10 - 1st metatarsal
    21:00 - fragment of a tibia
    21:23 - femur
    22:45 - fibula (not a child's, luckily!)
    24:14 - humerus
    24:25 - scapula (mostly intact)
    24:57 - skull fragment (hole is the foramen magnum)
    26:28 - pelvis (pubis, likely male)
    26:56 - femur
    27:10 - humerus and ulna (very likely from the same arm!)
    27:14 - fragment of a femur (most definitely a child's)
    27:21 - fragment of a pelvis
    27:30 - a horse's 3rd metatarsal
    27:50 - femur (that one could have possibly been a preteen/teenager's or just someone very petite)
    28:03 - fragment of a tibia (that one's from a pretty damn big dude)
    28:12 - 2nd rib
    28:13 - fragment of a humerus
    28:35 - fragment of a tibia
    28:45 - fragment of a radius
    28:54 - femur
    31:01 - mandible
    32:00 - tibia
    32:02 - radius and femur (someone very short)
    32:10 - mostly ribs and tibias, child's mandible
    32:41 - fibula, rib, and mandible
    32:54 - fragment of a femur
    33:00 - humerus
    33:04 - tibia
    33:09 - two ulnas
    33:18 - rib and tibia
    33:23 - ulna
    33:30 - skull, scapula, or pelvic fragment (I'm unsure, but leaning toward pelvis because it's so thick)
    34:19 - various ribs, tibias, radiuses, ulnas, fibulas, femurs, humeruses, and mandibles (including a child's)
    34:40 - part of an ulna (the radius and ulna look quite twisty and odd, especially if they're in pieces)
    34:49 - tibia
    35:00 - tibia
    36:20 - humerus
    37:29 - mandible, deformed (syphilis vs congenital vs other)
    37:35 - mandible, likely congenital deformation
    38:43 - fragment of a sacrum (the holes are for a large network of nerves to pass through. Not sure about arthritis, though. It's so damaged I don't think anyone could tell)
    Thank you so much for putting this up, guys! I found it fascinating and I hope that ID'ing some of the remains helps give a little human identity back to these poor souls. May their next life be better than the last.

And watching him callously crush that poor little bloody crab tossing things around (he always tosses things, never places, even the human remains he'll look like he's about to place it respectfully then tosses it the last few inches, it's just so hamfisted) then as if hinging a plank on it's legs wasn't bad enough he fucking treads on it.

    It's heartbreaking. That there's no value in them, that they're not in a museum, that they're not reburried, that their remains are strewn about with debris and trash washed up in the surf. They had no value when alive, and no value when dead. I am thankful to have seen this. It definitely brings more awareness to it, and to how things used to be. There are quite a few bones that don't look adult here. I wish some of those kids had found and made better lives for themselves. But I suppose we all end up bones in the end.

      When I am dead, I hope to have used everything my bones had to offer. That the curves and twists in my bones will show that I could throw a 300 lb welder into the back of a pickup.
      I hope an archeologist finds me in a few thousand years,. and wonders what tortures I must have endured.

    Hi Si
    I watched your latest video you did on Deadmans Island and I agree with what you said about all those bones of people being removed and reburied somewhere else. They were human too after all and they deserve to have a proper burial instead of just being left on an island. It was very sad to see the jawbones of children too and I know they were all prisoners but they need to be buried properly somewhere else.

    And that's if you survived being shipped off to Australia and that's a big IF. The conditions on those ships were terrible. I can't imagine what it was like seeing the bones and jawbone with some teeth still attached. That's so nice of you guys to volunteer to help with the collection of the bones and maybe putting them all in one place. People should never be treated like they're a nuisance of society, even if they do unlawful things. The severe criminals are the ones that should go to prison but not ones that are trying to feed themselves and they are starving in their family. Starving so they steal things to feed their family. But putting children with adults is never a good idea in the criminal system. It's like Alcatraz, you wouldn't find any remains of children there, but that was built in 1934, a whole different time frame. Thank you for showing respect, I appreciate that.
    I was going to mention to you in the last video that I watched of how much Steve reminds me of my late hubby or he could be his brother because his mannerism, and just things that he does like putting together that VW Bug, my hubby owned a Bug back in 67or 68 and then in this video, you show a picture of Steve motocross racing and guess what? My hubby used to do the same thing. Isn't that amazing how similar they are?

Im from Brighton and Hove and I would love to come to help collect these bones and put them all together in one place, even just a nice storage box on the island so perhaps anyone else that is a 'i don't mind picking that up' person could place any pieces in the box so there could be a place of remembrance for them as a group that could be slightly less lost and forgotten. The water and marine life could still work to break them down into the earth but atleast they could be all together and not washed away or trodden on. Thank you for being respectful of them. It was very interesting and captivating. 😊

Hell that could be some of out relatives bones on that island or even in the video. I respect you for putting the bones back down around the same place.

      @@hookedonguns5941 Some may have been hardened criminals but not all of them. Many were imprisoned or transported for stealing food or clothing. Many of the women were prostitutes. They were born into poverty and had no chance in life. They got by as best they could, Children as young as 10 were treated the same as adults. They could be sentenced to death for stealing food because they were starving, although often the death sentence was commuted in favour of transportation. However, some prisoners asked to be hanged rather than transported. Australia to them was an unknown and terrifying land. I've researched this a lot because I played the part of a female convict in a play called Female Transport. I have a lot of sympathy with those people. A fantastic vlog Si.
