What are forensic anthropologists able to suggest upon examining the bones? (6p)
Sex, ancestry, height, age at time of death, medical history (bone changes through growth, repair, and maturation of the bone), and sometimes cause of death
Define metric traits and describe the tools used to take them (4p)
Metric traits: quantifiable traits; measurable traits
Taken using sliding calipers, spreading calipers, and osteometric boards
Define non-metric traits (1p)
Non-metric traits: purely observational traits
What is an issue with sexing a pre-adolescent skeleton? (1p)
Very little sexual dimorphism, so that sex determination is nearly impossible
State the best bone to estimate sex, and the most prominent way of using this bone to do so (2p)
The pelvis. It is generally wider and larger than that of a male since it is designed to accomodate childbirth
State the second most common bone to estimate sex and how it is used for sex determination (2p)
The skull. It is used comparatively between genders, thus the ability to determine sex from a skull improves with experience
What bones are the last resort for estimating gender when no other bones are present, and why? (1p)
The long bones. There are very few sex-determined characteristics on them
What model is used for ancestry determination and what categories are used in it? (4p)
The three-race model and used, and it classifies by Caucasoid (European), Mongoloid (Asian/Amerindian), and Negroid (African).
State two reasons that ancestry determination is never perfectly precise (2p)
Racial mixing and the fact that the traits to determine ancestry using the skull are non-metric
What four kinds of traits in the skull are used in ancestral determination? (4p)
Lengths, widths, shapes of skull features and population-specific dental traits
What would the difference in femur be between one who displays the Caucasoid trait and one who displays the Negroid trait? (2p)
Caucasoid - fingers can fit under the curvature
Negroid - fingers cannot fit under the curvature
State 6 specific bones used to determine height and name the classification of this set of bones (7p)
Femur, tibia, fibula, humerus, ulna, and radias. These are all considered long bones
What do MLF and MLT stand for? (2p)
Maximum length of femur (MLT) and maximum length of tibia (MLT)
What is the best bone used in determining one's age at the time of death? (1p)
The pelvis
What particular parts of the pelvis are used in determining age? (4p)
The face of the pubic symphysis and the auricular surface of the ilium.
The extent of suture closure on the skull
The distinction or lack of distinction in the epiphyseal union
