''If the person was female, you will see the following features:
- a wider subpubic angle
- a broader sciatic notch
- a subpubic concavity, which is absent or shallower in males
- a sharp ridge down the ischiopubic ramus, which is flat and blunt in males
- a preauricular sulcus (a notch or depression), which is more commonly seen in females
- a ventral arc, absent in males
Often, however, only the skull of an individual is found. Fortunately, there are a lot of characteristics on the skull that can be used to determine sex. ''
''The teeth are very useful for determining the age of a child. The stages at which different teeth erupt from the gums are well known, and can be used to tell a child’s age to the year. But once all the adult teeth are fully developed, age is harder to determine. Adult teeth are worn down by chewing, and sometimes the amount a skeleton’s teeth are worn down can be used to estimate age. However, factors like a rough diet can mean an inaccurate age estimate.''
