Document Summary

Analysis of the recognizable changes to a skeleton that reflect on an individual"s life history. Skeletal studies that address the composite lives of the general populations and answers questions about ancestry and historical relationships to other populations. We need to first determine how many individuals exist. Mni: minimum number of individuals. i. e. how many left vs. right bones. If you have 3 humeri, you have at least 3 individuals. Look at length, robusticity, developmental features of the bone. For fragments and to determine which go together. whatnot to match together whatever fragments are from same bone, etc. Pre-pubescent are almost impossible to sex because the traits required arent present until after puberty. Sex differences in the pelvis are the biggest. Size differences = men are 10% larger and more muscle mass [muscle mass]. Functional morphology = childbearing traits in females. adults, not in children characteristics. This varies within a population and varies between populations.
