This course offers students training in the anatomy of the human skeleton and techniques used in the individuation of skeletal remains. Students will learn a range of osteological techniques for estimating age-at-death, biological sex, stature, ‘health’ and behaviour from human skeletal remains. We will cover the development, form, and function of human hard tissues (bones and teeth). Through research case studies, laboratory exercises, and interactive in-class activities, students will critically interrogate topical issues in the field of human skeletal analysis; they will also reflect on ethical considerations surrounding the analysis and interpretation of human remains. Acquired skills will be of value to any students interested in skeletal studies including vertebrate biology, comparative skeletal anatomy, medicine, palaeontology, human and primate evolution, forensic sciences and archaeology.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

1. develop foundational practical skills in the identification and analysis of human skeletal tissues;
2. describe the fundamentals of human skeletal growth and metabolic processes in a developmental and functional context;
3. interpret skeletal data and communicate your findings;
4. provide critical perspectives on topical issues in human skeletal analysis;
5. develop an awareness of the diverse ways of engaging ethically with human remains through practice, reflection, and discussion.

Other Information

Lab Registration, Attendance, and Etiquette

• You must attend one 90 minute lab a week as part of this course, starting from Week 1. Labs are on Thursdays, with sessions offered at 9am, 10:30am, 2pm, and 3:30pm. Please register for one lab session of your choice prior to labs beginning in Week 1. Please register early to avoid missing out on your preferred session.
• All labs are in person - there is no online option available.
• Please ensure you have are wearing a lab coat and closed-toed shoes for each lab. Long hair must be tied up.
• We have limited materials available in the lab as real bones are rare and precious, and models are mega spendy! Although we provide as many examples of skeletal anatomy as we can and supplement these with printed images where needed, please make sure you share resources and actively move around the lab to ensure everyone gets a go with these materials.
• Group work in the lab is encouraged as learning with other people can really boost your knowledge!
• If you miss a lab, please independently complete the lab worksheet for that week using the learning materials and model answers provided on Wattle. If you still have questions after consulting the model answers, feel free to get in touch with any of the teaching staff.

Assigned Course Readings:

• This course involves assigned (required) readings, which must completed prior to each lecture.
• These readings will provide you with critical background knowledge for each lecture and increase your understanding of key course concepts.
• The readings for each week are listed under 'Weekly Activities' on Wattle.
• All readings are available via the library website or as PDFs on Wattle.

Referencing

• This course employs the Harvard referencing style. Where applicable, all assessments must be referenced using this style.

BIAN2015/6517 Frequently Asked Questions

Please see below for the answers to commonly asked Human Skeletal Analysis questions! If you have questions that are not answered below, please check the Class Summary and Wattle (e.g., assessment guidelines, noticeboards) for information. If you cannot find the answer, please feel free to post your question to the 'Questions About the Course' thread in the 'Student Chat' section on Wattle.

I’ve missed a lab as I was unwell. What do I do?

You can catch up by completing the lab worksheet you have missed using the resources on Wattle. Model answers will be released at the start of the following week so that you can check you are on the right track. If you still have questions at this point, feel free to contact the teaching team for assistance.

If you are going to miss a test due to illness, you must apply for an extension before the due date if you are able. Apply at the following link: https://cass-seo.anu.edu.au/. If you cannot apply before the due date and apply late, you must include an explanation of why your extension request is late in your application.

I’ve missed a lecture as I was unwell. What do I do?

Please watch the lecture recording available in Echo360 to catch yourself up.

Help! I forgot about the test!

If you were sick or can argue that you had extenuating circumstances that caused you to miss the test, you may apply for an extension. You will need to provide evidence to support your request. If you have simply forgotten about the test, we are sadly unable to help you. We recommend saving all the test dates into your calendar to avoid pain, and we will give reminders over the Wattle noticeboard and in classes to help you. It is your responsibility to keep up to date with both notices and lectures so you are receiving these reminders.

I had to work and missed the test, can you help?

You are notified of all the test dates two weeks before semester starts so that you can arrange your work shifts around your university commitments. As such, work is not a valid reason for missing the test. The only exception is where you have been called in by your work for an emergency. In this case you may apply for extension. You will need to supply evidence from your employer (e.g. a letter from your supervisor or boss) that your work commitments were unavoidable.

How do I apply for an extension?

 Please apply for an assessment extension before the due date. You will need to supply supporting documentation with your application, e.g., a doctor’s certificate. If you are unable to apply before the due date, you may still apply for an extension, but you will also need to provide an explanation of the reasons preventing you from applying on or before the due date (e.g., in hospital very sick). This also must be supported by documentary evidence.

 

How are the lab test marks calculated?

Please see the information on the online lab tests under 'assessments' above.

What will happen with lectures on public holidays? Will we have make-up classes?

We have two lecture on public holiday this semester (Monday 10th March and Monday 21 April). For these week, you will be provided with a lecture recording on the Tuesday instead. As such, there are no make-up classes scheduled. It's recommended that you try and watch these as soon as you get a chance, as there are also lab tests in some weeks with public holidays. 

I have an unavoidable clash during the lectures/labs, what should I do?

Short-term lecture clashes can be managed by watching lecture recordings, or getting notes from your friends.

If you miss a lab, you can catch up by completing the lab worksheet using the resources on Wattle. Model answers will be released at the start of the following week so that you can check you are on the right track.

Long term clashes with labs may limit your ability to complete this course. In this instance, please contact the teaching team for advice.

Policies

ANU has educational policies, procedures and guidelines , which are designed to ensure that staff and students are aware of the University’s academic standards, and implement them. Students are expected to have read the Academic Integrity Rule before the commencement of their course. Other key policies and guidelines include:

• Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure
• Student Assessment (Coursework) Policy and Procedure
• Extenuating Circumstances Application
• Student Surveys and Evaluations
• Deferred Examinations
• Student Complaint Resolution Policy and Procedure
• Code of practice for teaching and learning

Assessment Requirements

The ANU is using Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the Academic Skills website. In rare cases where online submission using Turnitin software is not technically possible; or where not using Turnitin software has been justified by the Course Convener and approved by the Associate Dean (Education) on the basis of the teaching model being employed; students shall submit assessment online via ‘Wattle’ outside of Turnitin, or failing that in hard copy, or through a combination of submission methods as approved by the Associate Dean (Education). The submission method is detailed below.

Moderation of Assessment

Marks that are allocated during Semester are to be considered provisional until formalised by the College examiners meeting at the end of each Semester. If appropriate, some moderation of marks might be applied prior to final results being released.

Participation

There are no participation grades for this course and it is up to you, as independent adults, whether you come to lecture or labs. However, I strongly encourage you to attend as many of these as you can to help you keep up with the course content, especially for the first few weeks of the course. It's also just nice to see your faces! If you are unable to make lectures or labs, it is possible to catch these up independently on Wattle. Please see the course FAQs below and on Wattle for more information.

Examination(s)

All assessments are 'internal' for this course and there is no formal, final examination.

Assessment Task 1

4 x Online Quizzes

These four 15 minute long online tests will examine the knowledge you have gathered from lab practical sessions, readings, and lectures, and are designed to help you learn major concepts, skeletal anatomy terminology, identification, and basic techniques efficiently. These tests will be administered using the Wattle quiz function and will cover material from the week before the test to give you time to revise. Test questions will be multi-choice and may include identifying and naming bones and bony features from photos, siding bones and providing justification using photos and 3D models, applying methods learned in the lab, and explaining the functional significance of certain landmarks (fancy speak for 'what a landmark does').

 

Further detail on this assessment will be provided on Wattle and in class.

 

Value: 40% (10% per test).

Note that the percentages for each of the five tests will be summed to determine the portion of the total 40% that you get. This means that the more tests you complete, the more of the 40% you will earn! For example, Jenny sat 3 lab tests, getting marks of 5/10 (5%), 10/10 (10%) and 4/10 (4%) for each test. She received zeroes for the tests she did not complete. The percentages she got for each test were added together (5% + 10% + 4% + 0%), giving her a total of 19% out of the possible 40% for the assessment. This assessment therefore contributed 19% of her final grade for the course. Zorab sat all four tests, getting marks of 9/10 (9%), 10/10 (10%), 8/10 (8%), 10/10 (10%). When these percentages were added together, Zorab had accumulated 37% of a possible 40% for this assessment, giving him a total of 37% towards his final grade for the course.

Due Dates: You have a two-day window in which to complete your 15-minute long online test. Each two day window will start at 9am on the Thursday and will automatically close at 5pm on the Friday of each test week. The times and dates of each test window are as follows:

Online Test 1: 9am Thursday 25 February to 5pm Friday 28 February

Online Test 2: 9am Thursday 6 March to 5pm Friday 7 March

Online Test 3: 9am Thursday 13 March to 5pm Friday 14 March

Online Test 4: 9am Thursday 20 March to 5pm Friday 21 March

Estimated return date: Marks will be returned on Monday 3 March, Monday 11 March, Monday 17 March, and Monday 24 April, all by 5pm.

Assessment Task 2

Mid-Semester Practical Test

This one hour long Lab Practical Test will take place during your scheduled lab session in Week 6. The test will assess the the practical knowledge you have gained labs and lectures in Weeks 1-5. The test will be structured as a circuit test. This means that during this test, you will cycle through a series of stations. At each station you will be asked a series of short answer questions (i.e., there will be no list of answers to choose from, just a blank space for you to write your answers in). When the buzzer goes, you will move to the next station and answer the next question. This sequence is repeated until you have complete the entire circuit. Test questions will include identifying and naming bones and bony features from pictures, specimens and models, identifying tooth types and whether they are upper or lower, identifying different types of joints and their function, describing the form and function of certain bony features, and siding bones and justifying your answer.

You are advised to start early on your study for this test as it requires you to know skeletal anatomy 'off the top of your head' - there are no lists of answers to help you as this is a multi-choice tests, though you are permitted some notes with you in the test (please see above). Attending as many labs as you can and completing the weekly online lab tests will be very helpful, as you get a chance to practice with all the skeletal specimens you will see in the test. Many people also find it useful to revise each week's content as they go, as this prevent you having a pile up of information to learn the week of the test! Finally, the short online tests (please see above) will help you identify areas that you might need to work on.

 

Further detail on this assessment will be provided on Wattle and in class.

 

Value: 20%

Due Dates: Thursday 27 March in your usual lab time.

Estimated return date: Thursday 17 April by 5pm

Assessment Task 3

Critical Reflections

For this assessment, you must produce two short (400 word) reflections on topical issues in skeletal analysis. Reflective writing is a style you may not have encountered before and is different to essays and other forms of academic work. Where something like an essay asks you to summarise and critique published literature written by others, reflective writing involves describing how you operate as a skeletal analyst and explaining why you do what you do (e.g., the decisions, beliefs, values, perspectives that influence your actions). While you are strongly encouraged to support your reflection with reference published research, the focus should always be on exploring who you are as a 'bones person'. Reflections are different for everyone and there are no right or wrong answers - you will do well as long as you genuinely try to address the 'hows' and the 'whys' of your skeletal analysis practice. The first reflection will focus on ethics in bioarchaeology, while the second reflection will explore 'race' in biological anthropology. Reflections should be written in first person (e.g., Having done X, I learned that that Y; I now recognise this in my bones work by doing Z).

Further detail on this assessment will be provided on Wattle and in class.

Word count: 400 words each, for a total of 800 words

Value: 10% x 2 reflections, for a total of 20%

Due Date: Reflection 1: 9am Tuesday 22 April; Reflection 2: 9am Monday 12 May.

Estimated return date: Reflection 1: 5pm Friday 2 May; Reflection 2: 5pm Friday 23 May

Assessment Task 4

Creative Presentation

You've been asked to create a 'Science Communication' video about an aspect of skeletal analysis for a very popular YouTube channel, how exciting! Your video should be aimed at a non-specialist audience, and should be clear, concise, and professional, yet engaging - we need people to keep liking and subscribing to keep the channel going, after all! Your talk can be on any topic but must draw on what your have learned about ethics and skeletal analysis this semester. This could look like a whiteboard animation of how bones grow, a fun 'mad professor' inspired presentation on how we perform a sex estimation, an mock interview with a 'famous' guest star who invented an age estimation technique, a song about the skeleton, or a simple chat to the camera with or without slides in the background. You may also consider structuring your talk around exploring or debunking popular beliefs using your knowledge of ethics and skeletal analysis, e.g., 'Was Tutankhamun MURDERED? What does skeletal trauma analysis tell us?' or 'Did Vikings get to New Zealand before the Maori? What Skeletal Evidence Tells Us.' Each presentation must include 1) at least one creative element, which could include things like visually-striking presentation slides, music/song, artwork/animation, segments of film, e.g., following an anthropologist in the lab, interactive or animated slides, an interview with an 'expert'; references to genuine scientific literature; and 3) a brief critical analysis of an aspect of the topic. Please note that real skeletal remains are NOT be included in the presentations and presentations must be kept ethical and professional at all times. Presentations must be recorded and submitted through Wattle (i.e., they will not be presented or shown in class). To provide you with the opportunity to get help and advice on your videos,1-2 drop in sessions will be offered at the end of semester at a time to be determined.

Further detail on this assessment will be provided on Wattle and in class.

Length: 15 minutes

Value: 20%

Due Date: 9am Tuesday 3 June

Estimated return date: The results and feedback for this final assessment will not be available on Wattle until after Semester 1 marks release on 26 June, as per Section 37 of the ANU student assessment policy.

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is a core part of the ANU culture as a community of scholars. The University’s students are an integral part of that community. The academic integrity principle commits all students to engage in academic work in ways that are consistent with, and actively support, academic integrity, and to uphold this commitment by behaving honestly, responsibly and ethically, and with respect and fairness, in scholarly practice.

The University expects all staff and students to be familiar with the academic integrity principle, the Academic Integrity Rule 2021, the Policy: Student Academic Integrity and Procedure: Student Academic Integrity, and to uphold high standards of academic integrity to ensure the quality and value of our qualifications.

The Academic Integrity Rule 2021 is a legal document that the University uses to promote academic integrity, and manage breaches of the academic integrity principle. The Policy and Procedure support the Rule by outlining overarching principles, responsibilities and processes. The Academic Integrity Rule 2021 commences on 1 December 2021 and applies to courses commencing on or after that date, as well as to research conduct occurring on or after that date. Prior to this, the Academic Misconduct Rule 2015 applies.

 

The University commits to assisting all students to understand how to engage in academic work in ways that are consistent with, and actively support academic integrity. All coursework students must complete the online Academic Integrity Module (Epigeum), and Higher Degree Research (HDR) students are required to complete research integrity training. The Academic Integrity website provides information about services available to assist students with their assignments, examinations and other learning activities, as well as understanding and upholding academic integrity.

Online Submission

You will be required to electronically sign a declaration as part of the submission of your assignment. Please keep a copy of the assignment for your records. Unless an exemption has been approved by the Associate Dean (Education) submission must be through Turnitin.

Hardcopy Submission

You will complete the in-person mid-semester test will using printed paper scripts. Ensure that you complete the cover sheets provided on the front of the test scripts to ensure your test result will be linked to your student ID. During the test time you will complete the questions inside the test script as directed by your demonstrators. At the conclusion of the test or exam, hand your script in to your demonstrator or exam supervisor as instructed. Please note, any test scripts that leave the room will be invalidated.

Late Submission

Late submission of assessment items without an extension is NOT permitted for this course. This means that if you miss a test or assessment and you have not been granted an extension to sit the test/submit the assessment at another time, you will fail this assessment. To apply for an extension, please complete an application through the CASS Extension Request Portal on or before the assessment due date. Please note that you must provide documentation to support your application and that extensions cannot be granted after the due date unless you can demonstrate that extenuating circumstances stopped you applying for the extension beforehand. Reminders about test and assessment dates will be provided via the Wattle Noticeboard and in lectures to support you in completing these assessments. It is your responsibility to keep up to date with these notices.

• Instructions on how to use the application portal can be found here.
• To learn more about how extensions work at the ANU, please see the ANU coursework extension Policy and Procedure.

Referencing Requirements

The Academic Skills website has information to assist you with your writing and assessments. The website includes information about Academic Integrity including referencing requirements for different disciplines. There is also information on Plagiarism and different ways to use source material. Any use of artificial intelligence must be properly referenced. Failure to properly cite use of Generative AI will be considered a breach of academic integrity.

Returning Assignments

• All grades will be recorded in the Wattle Gradebook
• Online test scripts and reflection feedback will be returned via Wattle when all class members have completed the assessment.
• Hard copy (in person) tests can be viewed by appointment after everyone has completed the test.
