Q5. What are these bones?
B. Cranial fragments
Q6. What about these? Pay attention to the length of the
shafts and the shape of the distal epiphyses (toward the
bottom of the image).
C. Metatarsals
Q7. And this group? Again, use online resources if you
must.

, Q9. How about this group? Please note that the three
bones are all complete examples of the same skeletal
element. That is they are whole bones, match the shape
to comparative resources.
D. Patella
Q10. It may be difficult to tell for you, but the fragments
labeled A and B are both LEFT humeri so we know
there are at least two people here. Note the difference
in size (see the blown up inset image). What do you
think causes this?
B. Sex, the one on the right (B.) is female, the one on
the left (A.) is male.
Q11. Now consider those bones labeled B. and C. We
established already that B. likely belongs to an adult
female, but what about bone C? The blue lines mark the
equivalent portions of the shaft and you see that C. is
quite a bit shorter than B. and likely belongs to a third
individual. What is missing from the humerus labeled C?
C. Both the proximal and distal epiphyses
