  1. yes, any hard surface the oils from skin will cling to.  


  2. Do you mean if someone had been handling the bones directly? I'm quite sure fingerprints stay on pretty much anything that they touch, but of course, fingerprints would not be left on bones if they still had skin on them when they were handled...
