Dimensional variation in the proximal ulna: Evaluation of a metric method for sex assessment
The determination of sex is one of the fundamental assessments in the production of a biological profile for human skeletal remains, and a large number of studies have focused on evaluating sexual dimorphism metrically. A recent study of a contemporary American population presented high classification accuracies from discriminant function analysis of the proximal ulna (Grant and Jant, 2003 ). The present research tests this method using a large s…
The utility of carpals for sex assessment: A preliminary study
Sex assessment is key when investigating human remains either from medicolegal contexts or archaeological sites. Sex is usually assessed by examination of the skull and pelvis, but this may not always be possible if skeletal material is fragmented or incomplete. The present study investigated the potential for using carpals to assess sex, utilizing 100 individuals of known‐sex from the Christ Church, Spitalfields Collection, curated at the Natura…
Analysis of quantitative methods for rib seriation using the Spitalfields documented skeletal collection
Accurate rib seriation is essential in forensic anthropology and bioarchaeology for determination of minimum numbers of individuals, sequencing trauma patterns to the chest, and identification of central ribs for use in age estimation. We investigate quantitative methods for rib seriation based on three metric variables: superior (anterior) costo-transverse crest height (SCTCH), articular facet of the tubercle-to-angle length (AFTAL), and head-to…

Dust accumulation in the canopy: A potential cause of dental microwear in primates
Dental microwear researchers consider exogenous grit or dust to be an important cause of microscopic wear on primate teeth. No study to date has examined the accumulation of such abrasives on foods eaten by primates in the forest. This investigation introduces a method to collect dust at various heights in the canopy. Results from dust collection studies conducted at the primate research stations at Ketambe in Indonesia, and Hacienda La Pacifica …
Activity‐induced patterns of dental abrasion in prehistoric Pakistan: Evidence from Mehrgarh and Harappa
A detailed investigation of worn teeth should reveal a record of past activity patterns including information regarding diet, food preparation methods, and craft or occupational activities. Anthropological studies of the extensive dental samples from Neolithic (MR 3) and Chalcolithic (MR 2) levels at Mehrgarh, Baluchistan, and Bronze Age Harappa, Punjab, yielded several interesting examples of unusual dental abrasion. This paper provides macro‐ a…
