1. Sex - Pelvic mor- Pelvic shape
phology 1) Sciatic notch
2) Ventral arc
3) Subpubic concavity
4) Ischio-pubic ramus ridge
5) Pubic bone size
2. sex - greater Sci- Preserves the best
atic notch Wider in females
(1 2 3 4 5) males=1, females=5
3. Sex-Specific As- 1) Nuchal Crest
pects of Cranial 2) Mastoid Process
Anatomy 3) Supraorbital Margins
4) Glabella projection
5) Mental Eminence - chin projection
6) Forehead profile
7) Frontal/Parietal bossing
8) Root of Cheek
4. Sex - Mental Emi- Males are more defined
nence Area right in the middle of the chin
(1 2 3 4 5) females=1, males=5
5. Sex - Forehead Females - more vertical foreheads
profiles Males - more sloping foreheads
6. Population Specif- Patterns of sexual dimorphism are population specific. So, the range of male size
ic variation will be different in one population versus another.
7. Sexing - Deciduous tooth crown dimensions
Subadults DNA Sexing

8. Age - Deciduous baby teeth are sexually dimorphic
tooth crown di- adult tooth crown dimensions - because adult teeth form and erupt in childhood
mensions
9. Sex - DNA Sexing Can be used for small fragments of bones or teeth
- subadults Look for sex-specific DNA markers (Y chromosome = male)
10. Age - Subadult Dental Formation Patterns
age assessment Dental Eruption Patterns
Long Bone Length
Epiphysial Appearance
Epiphysial Closure
11. Age - dental for- Teeth grow from the crown toward the root
mation patterns Use data from known cases to generate growth curves
(subadult)
12. Age - den- Based on eruption of teeth thru gum-line
tal eruption pat- Less accurate than dental formation
terns (subadult) sex/population specific
requires near complete mouth
13. Age - long bone Based on simple observation that growing children increase in size
length (subadult) We have growth standards
14. Age - Epiphysial once an epiphysis is formed, it increases in size until it fuses with the diaphysis
Appearance/Clo-
sure (subadult)
15. Age - Adult Age 1) Pubic symphysis
Assessment 2) Auricular surface
3) Sternal rib ends
4) Cranial suture closure

5) Cementum annulation
6) Bone Histology (osteons)
16. a Height
17. a Used for complete skeletons
Measures height of:
skull, vertebral bodies, femur length, tibia length, ankle length, add soft tissue
connection (inter-vertebral discs)
18. Stature - Regres- Used if not able to get full skeleton
sion Methods High correlation between limb bone length and stature
Right and left limbs about the same length
Limb bone lengths highly correlated with each other
Lower limb better than upper limb
Using more bone reduces error
19. Stature -Adjust- 1) Stature decreases with age
ments to Stature *begins ~45 yo. effects ^ with age.
for Age *max=~1.5 inches at ~70 yo.
2) Bone shrinkage
*dry = shrink, effected by humidity.
* max shrinkage= ~1.5% of length
20. Sex - Female Os Os Coxa:
Coxa Subpubic Angle- Wide
Pubic Symphysis- Shorter
Sciatic Notch- Wider
Acetabulum- Smaller
Dorsal Pitting- Yes
21. Sex - Male Os Os Coxa:
Coxa Subpubic Angle- Narrow
