Exam #2: 1. A person with an ischio-pubic ramus ridge is male. False 2. One of the drawbacks of using the pubic symphysis to estimate adult age is that: It is often damaged 3. It is easy to assess the age of an individual who is over 60 years old with great accuracy. False 4. Young individuals usually have a pubic symphysis that is: Billowed and with a poorly defined outline 5. The sternal rib ends of older individuals are: Porous with a jagged rib end 6. What important age sensitive anatomical feature is shown here? Pubic symphysis 7. What is sexual dimorphism? Tendency for different sexes to be different sizes 8. Assessing sex for female skulls for which the individual is older than 60 years can be difficult because: Female skulls become more masculine with age due to postmenopausal changes 9. Sexual dimorphism means that males and females of a species differ physically. True 10. When measured, which of the following will produce the best stature estimate? Complete long bones (femur, humerus, etc.) 11. Skin color differences in humans reflect: Adaptation to local environment 12. Which area of the skeleton conveys the most information about ancestry?

Which of the following is NOT indicative of young age? Striated auricular surface Lots of whole osteons, few partial osteons Unfused epiphyses Joint deterioration 15. Typical adult age estimating techniques are based on: Deterioration of joint surfaces 16. Which of the following is NOT indicative of male sex? Large mastoid process Square mandible All are consistent with male sex Ventral arc 17. The presence of a ventral arc is indicative of what forensically significant variable? Female sex 18. Which method for estimating age at death in adult skeletons uses counts of whole and partial osteons to generate the age estimate? Bone histology 19. Alveolar prognathism is associated with which ancestral affiliation? African 20. The Fully Method of estimating stature uses measurements of: The skull The femur The ankle (talus and calcaneus) All of the options 21. Sex assessment is based on the fact that Males are generally larger than females 22. This is a very young individual, likely 20-25 years of age. False 23. ________ is how close a measured value is to the actual value while _________ is how close the measured values are to one another. Accuracy, precision 24.

If we assume a racial view of human prehistory is a correct reflection of what actually happened in our past, then this suggests there were long periods of geographic isolation separating different populations of humans. True 26. To estimate the age of a number of individuals, a fellow member of your lab is placing all the skulls in relation to one another from youngest to oldest. This is an example of: Seriation 27. It is not possible to estimate sex for an individual without a pelvis. False 28. A person with a ventral arc is male. False 29. Which of the following can NOT be used to estimate the sex of human remains? DNA Tooth size Cranial shape and size Morphology of the knee joint 30. The ear-shaped joint between the sacrum and each os coxa is called the _______________, and can be used to estimate age at death in adult skeletons. Auricular surface
