Trivia
Hodgins and Abernathy examine evidence that has been given to them from the Church Falls PD. There is no Church Falls near Washington DC but there is a Falls Church in VA.

Goofs
The item Dr. Brennan identifies as a "Mesopotamian basin" is, in fact, a Greek type of bowl known as a Lekanis.

Quotes
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: After Mr. Abernathy and I finished separating the remains that were mixed in with Daniel Barr's, I realized that we're missing parts of the victim.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: How? He's ash.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Based on his size, after cremation, his remains should weigh 3 kilograms. We received only 2.31 kilograms.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: So you're missing almost 2 pounds of the victim. Why can't you just say "2 pounds" instead of getting all metricky?

Preposterous

Once again, as others have said, we have literal miracle performed by the gang at the Jeffersonian. We have a cremation urn filled with ashes from three different people. So we shake out three little piles of ashes and with few minutes, identify the people. Angela has technology that doesn't exist, but she has it. She can make a bloated figure go back to his previous state. We also have a B plot where Finn Abernathy is given the heave-ho by Cam's niece, ending their relationship. She has been a bit of a snot the whole time, so I think he is better off (if there were a real him). At the end, we have one of the most ridiculous things of all. That 4000 year old cup worth a billion, is left on a little pedestal. No acrylic protection or anchor. Then Booth proves that Neanderthals still exist when he grabs it and treats it like the Stanley Cup. I hope the show will get back on its footing. This was worth than the publication of Edison's book!
