This document contains questions about identifying characteristics of human remains, including determining gender from pelvic bone structures, estimating height from long bone measurements, and assessing racial origins by skull and bone features. Key identification markers mentioned include the sciatic notch angle, nasal index, pubic angle, and presence of prognathism. The questions cover skills in forensic anthropology such as sexing, aging, stature estimation, and assessing ancestral origins.

Forensic Anthropology Practical Pelvis - Determine the angle of the sciatic knotch and name the sex of the pelvis Skull - Measure the nasal Index and determine the skull’s raciual origin Femur - What is the racial origin of this femur? Humerus - If this humerus beloged to a caucasion male, what is that person’s height? Jaw - What is the gender of this mandible? How can you tell Pelvis - Measure the Pubic Angle? What does it tell you? Skull - Take a look at this picture, what is the racial origin of this skull? Femur - What is the height of this lady? Skull - Here is a picture, what is the racial origin of this person? Pelvis - What gender is this? How can you tell. Provide 3 reasons Skull - Take a look at nasal spine? What does it tell you? Jaw - What race does this belong to? Forensic Anthropology - What is prognathism? What race exhibits it? What simple test can you administer to gain this information? Describe how a Skull illustrates: Race Gender Age
