Radius morphology variation in an adult South African cadaveric sample
Sex estimation is a vital first step in developing a biological profile, and is usually metrically or morphoscopically assessed. Geometric morphometric analyses allow re-evaluation of both size and shape variation of skeletal elements, and more meaningful comparisons of sexual dimorphism of different ancestry groups. Additionally, it has shown that some postcranial bones may be more useful for ancestry estimation than previously thought. Geometri…
Morphometric analysis of the occipital bone in an adult South African cadaveric sample
Forensic sex estimation is a key component in attempts to identify human remains. The skull is often used for this purpose, but is often damaged or recovered in fragments. Studies of individual cranial bones are hampered by subjectivity in visual assessment and difficulties in the ability to capture complex shape variations, as well as accounting for population-specificity in the expression of sexual dimorphism. The present study employed geometr…
Morphometric variation of the frontal bone in an adult South African cadaveric sample
Recent developments in geometric morphometrics enabled reassessment of features of the cranium in a more robust, objective and quantitative manner. Previous studies show that morphological variation of not only the cranium as a whole, but also parts thereof are useful in differentiating between sex and population groups. The present study used geometric morphometrics to assess variation of frontal bone morphology and its use in estimation of sex …
Assessment of sex and ancestry variation of the morphology of the fibula
The fibula is often not used for anthropological estimations, as its morphological variation is expected to be insufficient to allow accurate estimations. However, in forensic or archaeological contexts, there is the possibility that the fibula is the only bone available for analysis. The present study applied geometric morphometrics to evaluate the potential of using fibular morphology for assessment of sex and ancestry. Three-dimensional datase…
Union of the medial clavicular epiphysis in a South African Black skeletal sample
Scars of Parturition? Influences Beyond Parity
In the 40 years since the phrase 'scars of parturition' was coined, studies have attempted to show the relationship between scars on the bony pelvis and parity history. Despite numerous studies, the relationship of parity and scarring remains unclear. The challenge facing these studies is the rarity of skeletal collections of known parity. The alternative study approach is examining relationships between scars and factors other than pregnancy-rel…
