Cranial remains from the graveyard to the laboratory: restoration, conservation and craniometric analysis of medieval British skeletal samples
… This analysis suggests that the differences in craniometrics among British medieval samples are determined by the migration of foreign people from other European areas. A further difference is demonstrated between British and Howells’ samples, with a clustering based on geographical affinity. …

The Utility of Cranial and Dental Data in an Integrated Approach to Population Affinity
… the potential impact to forensic methodology. Craniometrics, cranial non-metrics, dental metrics, and dental morphology data were collected from skeletal material representing American Black (n=15), American White (n=140), and Latin American Migrant (n=178) populations. Data were analyzed using …

Dental Variation in Central Mexican Latinx Individuals
… thereby supporting results from craniometrics and genetic data. The Modern Latinx samples could be distinguished from each other and other modern samples, indicating the complexities of Latinx population history and the resultant dental phenotype. These results can be improved …

Cranial Sexual Dimorphism in Hispanics Using Geometric Morphometrics
Hispanics comprise the second largest population group in the US. Further, 63% of U.S. Hispanics are of Mexican origin with 37% foreign born (Motel and Patten, 2012). Sex estimation is an important component of the forensic anthropological profile and is considered population specific in that human …
