Anthropology 110L - FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGY LAB Directions: Complete the lab exercise in groups by using the resources provided for determining sex, age, ancestry, and stature. Photos and skeletal materials will be placed at each station for students to use in making assessments. Make sure to print and bring the supplemental document to lab. The document includes all the methods used to determine sex, age, ancestry, and stature. Be sure to circle answers (where indicated) and discuss morphological characteristics that led you to your conclusion. Station 1a - Non-metric Determination of Sex - Skull (10 pts) 1. Using the handout associated with station, identify the sex for each individual (circle answer). a. Skull A MALE or 40 FEMALE or INDETERMINATE b. Skull B MALE or FEMALE or INDETERMINATE c. Skull C MALE or FEMALE or INDETERMINATE 2. What specific morphological characteristics led you to classify each skull the way you did? Station 1b - Non-metric Determination of Sex - Pelvis (10 pts) 3. Using the handout, identify the sex for each individual (circle answer). a. Pelvis A MALE or FEMALE or INDETERMINATE b. Pelvis B MALE or FEMALE or INDETERMINATE c. Pelvis C MALE or FEMALE or INDETERMINATE 4. What specific morphological characteristics led you to classify each pelvis the way you did? - Station 1c Metric Determination of Sex - Femoral Head Diameter (10pts) 5. Identify the sex for each individual (circle answer) and record the diameter of the femoral head. Use handout to determine sex based on the diameter recorded. a. Femur A Diameter = MALE FEMALE UNK b. Femur B Diameter = MALE FEMALE UN C. Femur C Diameter = MALE FEMALE UNK Station 2a - Determination of Age - Dentition (5pts) 6. Using the handout at station, identify the individual as an adult or sub-adult based on dentition (circle answer). a. Mandible A Sub-Adult Adult b. Mandible B Sub-Adult Adult C. Mandible C Sub-Adult Adult Station 2b - Determination of Age - Cranial Suture Closure (10pts) 7. Using the handout at the station, identify the individual as an adult or sub-adult based on the cranial suture closure of each cranium (circle answer). a. Cranium A Young Adult Middle Adult Older Adult b. Cranium B Young Adult Middle Adult Older Adult c. Cranium C Young Adult Middle Adult Older Adult 8. What specific morphological characteristics led you to classify the crania in the way that you did? Station 3 - Metric Determination of Stature - Osteometric Board (15pts) 9. Name the three bones in the arm. Name the three long bones in the leg. 10. Using the osteometric board, measure each long bone and determine the stature of the individual based on your measurements. The chart associated with this station lists the formulae useful for determining stature in these sex/ancestry combinations. Choose a formula accordingly. a. White Male/Femur Total Length (TL) = (cm) Stature = (inches) b. Black Male/Fibula Total Length (TL) = (cm) Stature = (inches) c. Asian Male/Humerus Total Length (TL) = (cm) Stature = (inches) Station 4 - Non-metric Determination of Ancestry (10pts) 11. Using the handout, identify the ancestry (circle answer) for each individual. a. Skull A African Asian/ NAI European b. Skull B African Asian/NAI European c. Skull C African Asian/NAI European d. Skull D African Asian/NAI European 12. What specific morphological characteristics led you to classify the skulls the way that you did?/n
