Sexual dimorphism in relation to big‐game hunting and economy in modern human populations
Postcranial skeletal data from two recent Eskimo populations are used to test David Frayer's model of sexual dimorphism reduction in Europe between the Upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic. Frayer argued that a change from big‐game hunting and adoption of new technology in the Mesolithic reduced selection for large body size in males and led to a reduction in skeletal sexual dimorphism. Though aspects of Frayer's work have been criticized in the lite…
The influence of economic behaviour and environment upon robusticity of the post‐cranial skeleton: A comparison of Australian Aborigines and other populations
The robusticity of the post cranial skeleton of Murray Valley Aborigines is compared to that of five other populations. This is done to clarify disagreements in the literature on the skeletal robusticity of Aborigines relative to other groups, particularly European Australians. It is concluded that rather than being more robust, the Aboriginal sample is far more gracile than the comparative samples. Economic behaviour, genetic effects and climate…

Get Them Young? Age and Sex Inferences on Animal Domestication in Archaeology
The assumption that a high proportion of immature herd ungulates in an archaeological site indicates a domestic population implies (a) there is a 'natural' population structure common to all wild herds, and (b) predators will kill a representative sample of this population. We challenge these implications by demonstrating that wide variations occur in the population structures of non-domestic herds, in the vulnerability of age and sex classes to …
