Metric analysis of the patella for sex estimation in a Portuguese sample
The biological profile estimation is the first step toward positive identification. However, it is not always possible to access a complete and well-preserved skeleton due to postmortem damage and taphonomic changes. As such, there is a need to develop new alternatives to analyze different bones of the human skeleton. The present study aims to analyze the patellar osteometry, with attention to its degree of sexual dimorphism, to establish a simpl…

The web-based application rASUDAS, originally based on data from "The Anthropology of Modern Human Teeth," has been refined since its inception in 2015, undergoing two significant updates. The initial alpha version included 12 crown and five root traits. The beta version expanded the list to 15 crown traits and six root traits. The latest iteration, rASUDAS2, has expanded to include four additional traits along with seven backup traits, allowing …
Analysis of the Accuracy of AncesTrees Software in Ancestry Estimation in Brazilian Identified Sample
In the present study a software tool for craniometric ancestry estimation, AncesTrees, was evaluated in an identified Brazilian skeletal sample with known self-reported ancestry. Twenty-three craniometric measures were obtained from each skull and analyzed using AncesTrees software, with two classification strategies—tournamentForest and ancestralForest algorithm. The tournamentForest (53.54%) and ancestralForest algorithms with three ancestry gr…

The use of crown and root morphology to estimate population relationships has a long history in dental anthropology. Over the past two decades, methods employing dental morphology within forensic anthropology have been formalized with the incorporation of statistical models. This paper presents a new web-based application (rASUDAS) that estimates the ancestry of unknown individuals based on their suite of tooth crown and root traits. The applicat…
Ancestry Estimation Based on Morphoscopic Traits in a Sample of African Slaves from Lagos, Portugal (15th-17th Centuries)
In 2009, a skeletal collection of 158 individuals was excavated in Valle da Gafaria, Lagos, Portugal. These individuals were buried in an unusual way, having been discarded in an urban dump located outside the medieval city walls, dated from the 15th-17th centuries. Lagos was, at the time, an important slave trade harbour, and during the excavation, the morphological appearance of the skulls and the presence of intentionally modified teeth in som…
One for all and all for one
OBJECTIVES: Complete and accurate human skeletal inventory is seldom possible in archaeological and forensic cases involving severe fragmentation. In such cases, skeletal mass comparisons with published references may be used as an alternative to assess skeletal completeness but they are too general for a case-by-case routine analysis. The objective is to solve this issue by creating linear regression equations to estimate the total mass of a ske…
