The term "forensic" means to prepare an argument. Thus, strictly speaking, the debating team for an high school would be considered a "forensic team." There are forensic engineers, forensic Industrial Hygienists, even forensic plumbers. Not all who work in forensics go out and "collect evidence," for example while conducting a "forensic interview" the "evidence" is collected while speaking to a subject. A forensic accountant "collects evidence" by reading the ledgers and making notes and calculations. As a forensic Industrial Hygienist, I certainly go out in the field and collect evidence from crime scenes and the other types of locations. When we collect samples, we use a vast array of techniques depending on the type of material and the type of sample, and the analytical techniques we will ultimately employ.

Almost anything collected from a crime scene in a scientific fashion is considered FORENSIC EVIDENCE (e.g.: fingerprints, hair, blood, semen, bodily fluids, etc) the list is virtually endless.

What type of evidence are fingerprints and footprints?

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.
