28
Q

230 individuals from USA, mostly NM

A

University of New Mexico Documented Collection

29
Q

Males tend to have a ___ chin; females a ___ chin

A

square males, female rounded

30
Q

Superior border orbits in males are typically ___ whereas in females they are

A

duller, blunter; in females sharper.

31
Q

Ventral arc

A

females typically have; males do not

32
Q

A billowed right fourth rib sternal end indicates

A

youthfulness

33
Q

What are some problems in the use of non-metric traits for ancestry estimation?

A

Experience is mandatory, there is little quantification, the methods haven’t changed, the terms are hard to define: Oval window? A Quonset Hut?, etc. no statistics can be applied.

34
Q

What are some features of a female pelvis?

A

The presence of a ventral arc, subpubic concavity, and a sharp medial aspect to the ischiopubic ramus. The presence of a preauricular sulcus and a wide greater sciatic notch also support female sex.

35
Q

What components are used in age estimation?

A

Fourth rib end morphology and the pelvis: pubis symphysis and auricular surface morphology.

36
Q

George Dorsey

A

Leutgart Case

37
Q

Thomas Dwight

A

founding father of american forensic anthropology

38
Q

Harris Wilder

A

dermatoglypics and facial reconstruction

39
Q

Paul Stevenson

A

Chinese population age and stature estimation

40
Q

Ales Hrdlicka

A

AAPA founder who worked on race estimation

41
Q

T. Wingate Todd

A

Todd Collection; age estimation based on the pubic symphysis

42
Q

Robery Terry

A

built a large skeletal collection

43
Q

What are the Phenice traits?

A

Ventral arc, sharp medial aspect of the ischiopubic ramus, and subpubic concavity

44
Q

A wide greater sciatic notch and preauricular sulcus suggest

A

female sex

45
Q

Billowed 4th rib head morphology and billows in the auricular morphology of the pelvis suggest

A

young age

46
Q

Mildred Trotter

A

worked with Goldine Gleser to generate regression formulae for stature estimation from long bones using Korean War dead and the Terry collection

47
Q

What are some traits used in ancestry estimation?

A

postbregmatic depression, nasal aperture width, interorbital width, inferior nasal aperture, anterior nasal spine, transverse palatine suture, posterior zygomatic tubercle, supranasal suture (metopic remnant), zygomaticomaxillary suture shape.

48
Q

What are the two ways to measure stature?

A

The anatomical method (Dwight) and the regression method (Trotter and Gleser).

49
Q

Describe some of the morphological changes to the auricular surface with age

A

A fine-grained billowed surface in youth gains striae and retroauricular activity, then granularity and microporsity and more retroauricular activity appear, and then micro/macroporosity and more extensive grandularity.

50
Q

Males or females have heavier temporal lines

A

Males

51
Q

Males or females have a square chin

A

Males

52
Q

The supraorbital margin of females is more

A

sharper than the dull/blunt border of males

53
Q

Morress, Fanning, and Hunt

A

Crown and root development for age estimation

54
Q

Harris and McKee

A

broader application of the MFH method to a large population

55
Q

Suchey-Brooks method

A

phase 1-6 method for characterizing the pubic symphysis

56
Q

Lovejoy method is used for

A

auricular surface morphology (age)

57
Q

Rib phases for sternal end morphology age estimation were established by

A

Iscan and Loth

58
Q

Lamendin root translucency is

A

(1992) a very reliable way to estimate age from dentition

59
Q

Types 1-3 cranial landmarks

A

Type I: intersection of sutures or other distinct boundaries. Type II: deepest incurvature or greatest extension along a curve. Type III: endpoints for a maximum along a linear axis.

60
Q

Identification of Korean War dead at CILHI; identification work for the FBI
