Human first ribs demonstrate predictable, sequential changes in shape, size, and texture with increasing age, and thus, can be used as an indicator of age at death. Metamorphosis of the first rib's head, tubercle, and costal face was documented in a cross-sectional sample of preadult and adult first
## Abstract A new method for estimating adult ageβatβdeath from the first rib was developed as a modification of the Kunos et al. (Am J Phys Anthropol 110 (1999) 303β323) method. Data were collected on three aspects of the first rib (costal face, rib head, and tubercle facet) for 470 knownβage male
## Abstract Problems recently discovered in the Kerley method of estimating age at death from cortical microstructure are discussed. Kerley's original data have been reβanalyzed to produce new regression equations and to document the original field size.
