CRANIOMETRIC ESTIMATION OF ANCESTRY IN PEOPLES OF INDIA
In forensic anthropology, development of a biological profile for law enforcement can be critical in identifying missing persons (Ross, et al., 2004; Spradley, et al., 2008 Cox, et al., 2009; Ousley, et al., 2009). A biological profile often consists of sex, age at death, stature, and ancestry, and …

Using Matched Craniometric and Genetic Data to Assess the Population Structure of Texas-Mexico Border Migrants
Human population structure studies suggest that craniometric and genetic data demonstrate similar genetic distances within and between populations. However, few studies use craniometric and genetic data from the same individuals to conduct comparative analyses. Therefore, it is necessary to assess …

Cranial remains from the graveyard to the laboratory: restoration, conservation and craniometric analysis of medieval British skeletal samples
… of 16 British medieval samples by means of craniometric analysis. The purpose of this study is to determine whether craniometric variation among British medieval groups exists and what are the causes of these differences. Following the reconstruction of 267 skulls from Gloucester, Poulton …

Fluctuating asymmetry as a measure of developmental instability in Arikara bioarchaeological assemblages
… skeleton. In addition, three-dimensional craniometric data were assessed for fluctuating asymmetry through the applications of Euclidean Distance Matrix Analysis (EDMA). A hypothesis for the relative ordering of the magnitude of FA was developed based on archaeological/ethnohistorical …

Cluster analyses of craniometric data also showed distinct clusters that formed independent of sexual dimorphism, suggesting phenotypic diversity within the Burma groups analyzed. Further, samples from the Duckworth Burma collection exhibit craniofacial dimensions and …
