A child’s skull is found with no deciduous dentition and all the permanent teeth besides the third molar have erupted. However, not all of the permanent teeth have reached their final position (some were still in the process of eruption).

For our Grand Finale, suppose we have the posterior ilium (part of the hip) of a person that exhibits an auricular surface with no transverse organization, microporosity, slight apical activity, and slight activity in the retroauricular. AND we also have this same individual’s skull, which indicates that the palatal and endocranial sutures are fully fused. Finally, the summed score for the lateral-anterior ectocranial sutures is 6. What was the approximate age of death of this individual based on all this information? 13 years 27 years 42 years 58 years 71 years
