ACCURACY AND RELIABILITY IN SEX DETERMINATION USING THE OS COXA: A COMPARISON OF METRIC VS. PHENICE METHOD
Determination of biological sex is one of the most important determinations to be made from undocumented human remains and is an essential first step in the development of the biological profile in forensics and bioarchaeology. The chances of attaining high levels of accuracy & reliability …

Ancestral and Sex Estimation Using E.A. Marino’s Analysis of the First Cervical Vertebra Applied to Three Modern Groups
… and fragmented skeletal elements. Ancestry is most commonly assessed using cranial traits. Sex is assessed using the os coxa and cranial traits. Post-cranial methods for identifying individuals are needed in the field because cranial and pelvic elements are often broken and incomplete. Examining …

Testing of a Portuguese Method for Estimating Skeletal Age at Death in Adults Using the Acetabulum on an American Sample
The purpose of this thesis is to test the accuracy of age estimation using the acetabulum. Methods for determining information from the os coxae are essential tools in archaeology and forensic anthropology. Variables from the ilium, ischium, and pubis have been used to determine sex and estimate …
