Male or Female?
The excavation team needs to know whether you think this
skeleton was male or female. Certain parts of the skull and the
pelvis look different in males and females. By examining these parts
and comparing them to sets of drawings, you might be able to determine
if the person whose skeleton was found was more likely to have been
female or male.
You'll have to try to determine the sex of the skeleton based on
anatomical clues.
