Quantifying the Shape of the Greater Sciatic Notch Using Elliptical Fourier Analysis
The greater sciatic notch is a well-established, sexually dimorphic feature in humans. The traditional anthropological perspective describes females as having wide and shallow notches, while the male notch is described as being narrow and deep. However, the size and shape of the notch can vary between populations, which can complicate the use of this feature as a sex determinant in forensic analyses. The current study investigates the relative co…
Terminology Used to Describe Human Variation in Forensic Anthropology
To understand the implications of the forensic anthropological practice of “ancestry” estimation, we explore terminology that has been employed in forensic anthropological research. The goal is to evaluate how such terms can often circulate within social contexts as a result, which may center forensic anthropologists as constituting “race” itself through analysis and categorization. This research evaluates terminology used in anthropological arti…
Description and Quantification of Sexual Dimorphism of Pubic Body Shape in Hispanic Populations Using Elliptic Fourier Analysis
Sex estimation is important in the creation of a biological profile for unidentified human remains, as positive identification cannot occur until the decedent's biological traits have been determined and the range of possible matches has been narrowed. The pubic bone is cited as one of the best indicators of sex due to the constraints of childbirth. Current methods that use the pubic bone for sex estimation, however, rely on poorly defined and su…
