    C. What delicate skeletal structures are found inside the nasal cavity that might be missing from an excavated skull? There are several bones that are within the nasal cavity – sphenoid bone, nasal bone, palatine bones, lacrimal bones, vomer and the perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone. The lacrimal bones are the smallest bones of the face which would make this bone easy to deteriorate due to its size alone. The perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone that also connects to the vomer bone are only attached to other bones that are perpendicular no lateral connection to bones.…

    The changes in the cranial and facial form are linked to the food that was eaten and how it was made. The different types of food and the muscles used to chew the food resulted in different muscle features on the face. The types of food that became available to them was also a factor when looking at the skull. Masticatory-function hypothesis explains that the shape of the craniofacial was related to the consumption of soft food (Larsen 2014, 435). When food began to be cooked it changed the constancy. Food that was once hard and required more work to chew began to be a lot easier to eat. Hunter-gatherers had characteristics such as long cranial vault, large robust mandible, bigger teeth and tooth wear was normal. Agriculturalists had short skulls, small mandibles, smaller teeth and little wear on the teeth (Larsen 2014, 436).…
