By guess and by golly for the most part. Actually, with experience, dinosaur experts have gotten a lot better about guessing which part goes where, but there were some funny learning mistakes. For example, where the first Iguanodon was found, one of its two thumb-spikes was with it, but since they only found one, the scientists reconstructing the animal put the spike on its nose! The famous feud between Marsh and Cope (the two great early dinosaur hunters) began which Marsh pointed out to Cope that he'd assembled his great discovery, the Diplodocus, with the skull on the end of the tail! Marsh wasn't always right himself, though: he once put an Apatosaurus body and a Camarosaurus head together.
