The remains were found Feb. 26 on state land in Coxsackie, not far from an area where the Hudson River flows during floods and high tides.
Police searched the area for any other evidence that could have been linked to the discovery, and recovered clothes that may or may not be related, authorities said.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation announced late Monday that a forensic anthropologist had concluded that the skull portion was that of a child, likely a boy between the ages of 10 and 13. The remains had been exposed to the elements for 5 to 10 years.
Jaliek was 12 when he disappeared in November 2007.
Police have long theorized that Jaliek was killed and that his body may have been dumped into the Hudson River. Police searched different parts of the river from Greenwich south dozens of times as part of an exhaustive investigation.
