  2. Data Collection • Be sure that you get data for four of the SEX DETERMINATION tables. • Use Proposition and Support language to discuss what you think the sex is. • Make a final decision on the sex. • Be sure that you have RACE determination data for the Skull and the Femur if applicable. • Use Use Proposition and Support language to discuss what you think the race is. • Make a final decision on the race.

  3. Calculations for Height/Age • Complete calculations for the height based on the femur OR tibia and the humerus. • Compare your calculations with that of other group members. • Record your final height. • ADVANCED – Reexamine the bones and determine the age based on the data.

  4. Final Report - #15 of P1.2.3 • Introduction: Provide a brief case description. • Summary of Findings: Provide evidence and support for your findings for each trait - sex, ethnic origin, age and height. NOTE: You do not need to list every measurement/observation as evidence. Think about your analysis as a whole and describe how combined data led you to a conclusion. Discuss any inconsistencies in the data and address the limitations of these methods in determining identity. • Further Analysis: Read the FBI file on facial reconstruction at http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/lab/forensic-science-communications/fsc/jan2001/phillips.htm/. Discuss how this technique could be used in this case. Research and report on at least two other tests/types of analysis that can be completed using the bone samples. What can we learn from these tests? How can this information be used to identify the missing? • Conclusion: Sum up the case findings and your recommendations for the next steps of the investigation in 1-2 paragraphs
