Students have asked these similar questions
While working at an excavation, an archaeologist finds several small skull bones. She examines the frontal, parietal, and occipital bones and concludes that the skulls are those of children not yet one year old. How can she tell their ages from examining these bones?
The text says that 28 bones are in the skull; 8 bones form the cranium, and 14 bones form the face. That leaves 6 bones unaccounted for. What are these bones, and where are they found?
