Best Answer

Experts can deduce what the person's diet was, whether they suffered any major injuries or illnesses in life. Anthropologists can further tell us what the relative station of a person might have been based upon the circumstances of their burial. The presence of clothing fragments or other personal possessions can also be used to create a theory concerning how a person lived.

Can you tell if a skeleton diagram is male or female?

There are many clues that help to determine if an actual human skeleton can be deciphered as male or female. The density of bones and joints as well as placement of hip bones can reveal the sex of a skeleton, although it is more difficult to determine if the skeleton is that of a child. When the skeleton is drawn, however, it is left up to the artist as to whether the sketch is of a male or female.
