Abstract
Inside the human skull are two boney structures called the occipital condyles. As we age, these structures undergo metamorphic changes such as billowing and depression. By measuring these structures at different stages, we can predict the age of an individual. Over 40 pair-wise measurements of each condyle were taken from sampled remains. Using a statistical analysis software a multivariate linear regression model to predict the age of an individual is obtained.
