In crime scene investigation, year of birth and death determination of unrevealed human bodies is a major factor in the examination of mass disaster cases. Due to increasing demand of C14 in forensic analysis, the identification of skeletal remains can be done. The different morphological methods are used by anthropologists in the determination of age. In this study we reviewed and compared the methods used in the identification of human remains. There are two Beta decaying devices i.e., Liquid Oscillation Counter and Gas Proportion Counting based on the count of the photon emissions resultant. Along with this, accelerated mass spectrometry is one of the best methods for radiocarbon dating. It is more precise than LOC, uses less amount of sample and gives faster results. Due to advancement in technology and innovations, recently the SCAR method has been used to save time, cut down expenses and for reliability. On the basis of the above techniques soft and hard tissues can be analyzed for the more appropriate results. This indirectly ascertains that soft and hard tissues are good indicators of C-14 in the body. Further research would examine the possibility to determine the year of death, by generating radiocarbon levels from the pupal stages of insects feeding on deceased’s soft tissues postmortem.
