Finding the Dad in the Moon
Additional informationNotes on contributorsDana WalrathAn artist, writer, and anthropologist, Dana Walrath, on faculty at the University of Vermont, blends all three of these roles into her work. She earned a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania and an MFA in writing from the Vermont College of Fine Arts. Walrath is currently working on a graphic memoir that combines her Aliceheimer’s series about life with her Armenian mothe…

Reliability test of the visual assessment of cranial traits for sex determination
Interobserver variation in visual evaluation was analyzed for 10 cranial traits in a homogeneous archaeological series. Two observers independently scored cranial traits commonly used for determination of sex. Though determination of sex did not differ significantly for the two observers, individual traits had different levels of interobserver reliability. In addition, indices of relative “maleness” and “femaleness” derived by the two observers d…
Rethinking Pelvic Typologies and the Human Birth Mechanism
Paleoanthropological reconstructions of childbirth in the genus Homo typically rely upon a model incorporating the evolution of a monotypic human birth mechanism. Two features characterize this proposed mechanism or pathway taken by the fetus through the birth canal: fetal rotation and neonate emergence in a position facing away from the mother. The evolution of these two features is said to facilitate birth through the bipedal pelvis but is also…

Sexual dimorphism in the pelvic midplane and its relationship to Neandertal reproductive patterns
The fragmentary nature of the fossil record has limited the analysis of the Neandertal pelvis to the superior pubic ramus and the pelvic inlet. From an obstetric viewpoint, the pelvic midplane or "plane of least dimensions," defined by the distance between the ischial spines, must be considered in the analysis of hominid reproduction. We examined the relationship between BSD and weight in a mixed sex hospital population undergoing diagnostic comp…
