I don't think evidence is categorized... But..
It would depend: if it is a hidden print, it will probably have to be discovered using some kind of chemicals such as luminol or simple things like powder, this meaning it will require forensics. So pretty much: 'Forensic evidence', But if it had nothing to do with discovering it using forensics, well, someone else will have to answer that for you.
Added: It is known as PHYSICAL EVIDENCE.

∙ 13y agoFingerprints and footprints are considered physical evidence in forensic investigations. They are unique to each individual and can be used to link a person to a crime scene or eliminate suspects.
Fingerprints were first used as evidence linking suspects to crime in the late 19th century. Sir Francis Galton, a British scientist, was one of the pioneers in the study of fingerprints for identification purposes. The first documented use of fingerprints in a criminal case was in Argentina in 1892.

Fingerprinting was first used as evidence in 1892 when Sir Francis Galton, a British scientist, published a study on the uniqueness and permanence of fingerprints. This marked the beginning of the modern usage of fingerprints for identification and evidence in criminal investigations.
Evidence of an organism's activities is recorded in trace fossils. These include tracks, fossilized dung, and burrow casts.
Physical evidence refers to any tangible objects or materials that are relevant to a criminal investigation or legal case. This can include items such as weapons, clothing, fingerprints, or biological samples that can provide factual information to help solve a crime. Physical evidence is crucial in building a case and proving guilt or innocence in court.
Yes that's why there called FINGERprints......but theres also footprints

No, footprints are impressions left by feet on a surface, while fingerprints are unique patterns of ridges and valleys on the tips of fingers. Both can be used for identification purposes, as they are unique to each individual.
I don't know. Go find it on the web yourself!
It can sometimes mean "traces," but it usually "footprints" or "fingerprints."
Fingerprints and footprints are produced by projections into the epidermis called dermal papillae. These structures create unique patterns that can be used for identification purposes due to their individualized features.

Anything traceable: blood, semen, fingerprints, footprints, tire tracks ,hair, skin, fibers(clothing), bullet casings, a weapon, cell phone, vehicle.
Fingerprints and footprints are formed by the pattern of ridges and valleys on the skin's surface, which are established during fetal development. This pattern is unique to each individual and remains relatively unchanged throughout a person's life.
Evidence at a crime scene can be found through systematic search methods, such as grid, spiral, or strip search patterns. Investigators use tools like cameras, collection kits, and protective gear to gather physical evidence like DNA, fingerprints, fibers, or weapons. They also document observations, take photographs, and collect samples meticulously to preserve the integrity of the evidence.
At a murder scene, evidence such as DNA, fingerprints, weapons, bloodstains, clothing fibers, and surveillance footage can be found. Additionally, other items like footprints, hair, tire tracks, and any potential trace evidence can be crucial in identifying suspects and building a case.
Physical evidence usually involves objects found at the scene of a crime. Physical evidence may consist of all sorts of prints such as fingerprints, footprints, handprints, DNA material, cut marks, tool marks, etc.Circumstantial evidence is indirect evidence which creates an inference from which a fact may be concluded. For example, circumstantial evidence of a murder is not based on first-hand eyewitness accounts, but may consist of threats that were made, fingerprints left at the crime scene, or the presence of the accused in the vicinity of the crime.
