The little Hans case study has supplied a large arrangement of Qualitative data which can be of use during determining the first moment in which the behaviour took place and to help the treatment of the abnormal behaviour. However with the special bone that was between the son and father was the key aspect of this study as it helped create a very detailed analysis take place.

h a character's growth from childhood to adulthood changes throughout the book. The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros is a perfect example of using the technique of a Bildungsroman throughout the novel. We will see how the protagonist, Esperanza in The House on Mango Street, will grow mentally and physically. Here are three specific vignettes in The House on Mango Street that will show how Bildungsroman is used; these are “Hips”, “The First Job” and “Papa Who Wakes Up in the Dark”. Body Paragraph 1 Topic Sentence:

At 4 pm, in a certain park, 2 skeletons were found lying side by side behind the bushes. It was concluded that the two were a couple because they were holding hands whilst the skull was facing each other. A femur, pelvic girdles, skulls, tibia, and humerus were taken from each of the skeleton and observations were made to identify their gender, race, age, and height. One is a female, and the other was a male, also the skeletons pretty much remained intact from being undisturbed however, a few of the hand or feet bones can be found lying a little further off perhaps due to the scattering of birds.

Next I looked at the skull and pelvis to try and find the gender. Men have foreheads that slope back and a square chin, but women have more round foreheads and chins have round . Where the two sides join, for women it is an oval shape, and for men it is a heart shape. I read this all in the article “Identifying the Victim”. The forehead and chin were rounded, which indicated that it was a woman. Just to make sure I checked the pelvis. The pelvis was wide and shallow. Also the opening was an oval shape. These all told me that it was a woman.

First we figured out whether the bones were male or female. It was discovered they were female from taking measurements from the skull, humerus, pelvis and tibia. The pelvis, which we measured first had ¾ of the traits pointing to being a female, including the sub-pubic angle, Greater Sciatic Notch and the cavity shape. Then the skull had results of ⅜ traits being a female. That is what threw us off. How could it be so different from our first result with the pelvis. After much discussion it was decided that since on the skull we used qualitative data that it wasn’t as strong of evidence. Lastly for the tibia and humerus, we got 6/6 traits being positive to female. All of this quantitative and qualitative information was put together to determine that the bones were from a female.

Our findings have led to us believe the victim was male due to the sub-pubic angle being 90 degrees, lying distinctly in the male range of 90 degrees, and the pelvic cavity shape forming into a heart-like form and expressing the sacrum and coccyx which differs from a female which shows mainly

There is a small vertical irregularity on the mandible, likely the result of a fracture scar. This irregularity measures approximately 3 millimeters in length. There is also evidence of forced trauma to the cranium, with the vertical irregularity measuring approximately 8 millimeters in length.

Observe skull sample and record the overall skull size, shape of forehead, supraorbital ridge, mastoid process, orbital shape, nuchal area and occipital protuberance and chin shape. Compare your observations with the information in lab book’s (table 8.1) characteristics to determine sex of the skull.

The limitations of these tests are that while the overall result of of bones where: female, Asian, between 4 foot 8 inches and 5 foot 1 inches and between the age of 20 to 30, several of the test had differing answers. During the testing to prove that she was a female, there where three tests where the results said she should have been a male. During the ethnicity test, height

The first thing we did was down in the lab. I, along with my partner, took a look at the pelvis. Seeing as it was shallow and heart shaped, we concluded that this victim was male.

Cranial suture closure is considered by many as a successful form of age determination (Meindl and Lovejoy, 1985; Masset, 1989; Mann et al., 1991, Nawrocki, 1998) and is another most commonly employed method of age determination amongst anthropologists. Up to 27
