It's not easy to differentiate between cassowary and human bone, one picture in the link Thor posted shows it good.

Assuming that is the be all knowledge of PNG bone daggers, which I very much doubt.

I am as well Tim, but the top of the bones show clearly the anatomy difference. Another point is that human bones are more straight.
Another point is the feel and colour, like said, it's not easy.
