Uses Of Human Bones, Do you use them? How? Options

So on my blog I wrote down how I had ordered a human skull for a working that I'm doing, and Kinj said how he wanted someone to post a topic on the use of human bones, so, I guess that would be me. Does anyone here use human bones in their work? If so, how? I use ground up human bone in my goofer dust recipe, and I know other people try to contact the spirit of that certain bone in Necromancy. In Candomble I've seen skulls used to carry out curses. Bones are VERY potent in works that have to do with affecting the human body. Who else uses human bones, and how do you use them in your work?

Actually GaiusOctavian, that Bone Game first came from Harner's The Way of the Shaman . . . just to give props.

I've never used human bones, but I have used animal's . . . though only those that I've found (been "given"); turtle, deer, bear.
As animal spirit contacts, ancesteral objects, and "spell" conponents for deep-past and Earth. They've been very effective.
(a bit of divination attempt with a turtle shell too . . . playing with the I Ching origin idea . . . but nothing really came from that because I was unwilling to destory the shell just for a practice reading lol)
Though, for necromancy, I can imagine that human bones would be particularly useful.

I wonder if for divination ("throwing the bones"), if animal bones would be as acceptable as human . . . or is that type of divination actually a form of (anthro) necromancy?
