These skeletal remains individually tell a story about the person. It tells forensic anthropologists and anthropologists alike how healthy they were, by observing their teeth and possible holes in their upper jaw that were caused by cavities. However, the most crucial part of their remains that forensic anthropologists look for is cause of death. Observe the crania! Notice the zig-zag marks on the top? They indicate healing wounds that may have been resulted from a head injury. However, another crania shows a giant, more deadly crack, that may be the cause of death! These skulls differ from one another due to environmental factors, racial groups, sex, as well as activities!
This tool, known as the trowel, is the archaeologists' best friend when digging! Designed to scrape away horizontally and vertically when needed in a dig site.
My class had the privilege to closely observe these skulls! It's completely different from what you read in books than doing it in actual person! Key point: when in American territory use the American towel, and when in other countries use their signature equipment!
