Stature estimation equations from fragmentary long bones based on a modern Eastern Mediterranean assemblage
Stature estimation is central in forensic anthropology and very important in bioarchaeology. For this reason, several different methods have been proposed, employing different skeletal elements and statistical approaches. A major issue with skeletonized individuals is that their bones are often found fragmented, a taphonomic parameter that limits the application of many available methods. As a result, attempts have been made to create equations t…
Integration patterns of the asymmetric components of the skull
The asymmetric variation of the skull regions should be taken into consideration for surgical treatment planning. However, comparing our findings with other studies revealed that the utilization of the skull regions in the context of a structure as a whole while running the analysis, as well as different landmark combinations, may lead to different results. Furthermore, there might be population-specificity to certain integration patterns of the …
"What and how should we share?" An inter-method inter-observer comparison of measurement error with landmark-based craniometric datasets
The present study evaluates the precision and accuracy of photogrammetric 3D modeling of human crania in landmark acquisition and explores the limitations of combining datasets acquired by different observers and different measurement methods. Our working sample comprises 50 adult human crania, which were modeled with 3D photogrammetry. 3D coordinates of 56 landmarks were collected from the 3D models with Meshlab software and an existing correspo…
Sex determination by three-dimensional geometric morphometrics of the vault and midsagittal curve of the neurocranium in a modern Greek population sample
An attempt to predict tooth crown height using cementoenamel junction diameters and implications in the quantitative study of dental wear
Dental wear has been used extensively in osteoarchaeological studies as a means of exploring dietary patterns and the use of teeth as tools. The present paper aims to test whether crown height can be predicted for premolars and molars based on the mesiodistal and buccolingual diameters of these teeth at the level of the cementoenamel junction (CEJ). Multiple linear regression was used with crown height as dependent variable and diameters at the C…
Sex determination by three-dimensional geometric morphometrics of craniofacial form
The purpose of the present study is to define which regions of the cranium, the upper-face, the orbits and the nasal are the most sexually dimorphic, by using three-dimensional geometric morphometric methods, and investigate the effectiveness of this method in determining sex from the shape of these regions. The study sample consisted of 176 crania of known sex (94 males, 82 females) belonging to individuals who lived in Greece during the 20(th) …
Sex determination by three-dimensional geometric morphometrics of the palate and cranial base
The purpose of this study is to assess sexual dimorphism in the palate and base of adult crania using three-dimensional geometric morphometric methods. The study sample consisted of 176 crania of known sex (94 males, 82 females) belonging to individuals who lived during the 20th century in Greece. The three-dimensional co-ordinates of 30 ectocranial landmarks were digitized using a MicroScribe 3DX contact digitizer. Generalized Procrustes Analysi…
