Question
Which of the following statements is true when it comes to using skeletal remains to
determine the biological sex of the individual?
O identifying the sex of skeletal remains is easy and 100 certain that a skeleton is either male
or female
O Modern scientists now label more skeleton remains as indeterminate" which reflects the
variability and overlap in features between the sexes, but still suggests a binary mindset
O The finding that there are about 12% more male skeletons than female skeletons at
archeological sites reflects the likelihood of skeleton preservation rather than bias and
assumptions in assigning sex to skeletal remains
O While other parts of the skeleton are less clear, pelvis ac blades that flare are clear
indications the skeleton was of a female.
