Long Bones Essay
Skeletisation of a dead body has made identification of the remains trickier. As humans, we become
accustomed to recognise others from outer body appearances, not their insides. However, it is well
established that morphological and metric changes occur on certain bones through a human's
lifetime (e.g. Pelvis: Phenice, 1969, Skull: Meindl and Lovejoy, 1985, Long bones: France, 1998)
making identification possible. To complicate matters, morphological and metric changes can differ
within and between human population groups due to intrinsic and extrinsic factors (DiGangi and
Moore, 2012). An example of this is nutritional deficiency, which effects males more than females

Epiphyseal (growth plates) fusion (Krogman and ะ”ยฐะ•ัŸcan, 1986), dental eruption and wear
(Ubelaker, 1989; Buikstra and Ubelaker, 1994), cranial suture (elastic tissue that connects the
bones of the skull) closure (Meindl and Lovejoy, 1985), features of the pelvis such as the pubic
symphysis (Todd, 1921a, 1921b; Brooks and Suchey, 1990) and auricular surface (Lovejoy et al.
1985b) are some examples of commonly used methods for age determination. Other features of the
pelvis such as the morphology of the subpubic region (Phenice, 1969) are a commonly used method
for sex determination. Morphology and metrics of the skull, including the mandible, have been
beneficial in determination of sex (Buikstra and Ubelaker, 1994). Additionally, metric measurements
of appendicular bones have also shown to be useful at determining sex (France, 1998). This study is
