Use your available reference material to answer the following:

  • What bone is it?
  • What side of the body did it come from?
  • What was the possible age of the individual at time of death?
  • What morphological features helped you to answer the above questions?

When identifying fragments, keep in mind:

  • Fragments of crania, os coxa, and scapula can often appear similar due to their relatively flattened morphology.
  • The acromion process on the scapula may look similar to the lateral and medial ends of the clavicle.
  • Except for Rib 1, ribs and rib fragments are difficult to identify without a full compliment of rib material.
