Race differences in pubic symphyseal aging patterns in the male
A well‐documented multiracial sample of 704 male pubic bones allows for rigorous testing for racial differences in pubic symphyseal metamorphosis. The relationship between estimated age (using a modified Todd six‐stage system) and age is examined as a function of race (White, Black, Mexican). One set of analyses incorporates linear regression models, while a second set does not impose such structure on the relationship. The latter analyses incorp…
Age determination of the male Os pubis
An extensive (n = 739) sample of well‐documented male pubic bones was examined for age‐related features. Using the traditional aging methods, Todd's system was found to over‐age and both the Todd and the McKern‐Stewart systems did not account for age variability seen in advanced pubic bone patterns. Based on a 5‐year interobserver error study, certain categories in each system were collapsed because observers could not consistently differentiate …
Sex determination of prehistoric central California skeletal remains using discriminant analysis of the femur and humerus
A large sample (n = 370) of Central California prehistoric skeletal remains was analyzed for sexual dimorphism of long bones using nine femoral and nine humeral dimensions. Sex of all individuals was assessed using traits of the os pubis. Discriminant analysis was done separately for the robust Early Horizon sample and the Middle/Late Horizon sample. Use of multiple variables did not produce appreciably better results over the use of several of t…
Epiphyseal union of the anterior iliac crest and medial clavicle in a modern multiracial sample of American males and females
Epiphyseal union of the anterior iliac crest and the medial clavicle is examined in 605 males and 254 females in a sample of modern Americans aged 11–40 years. The sample includes American whites, American blacks, Latin‐Americans, and Orientals. This is the first skeletal investigation using a large sample of individuals of known age since the McKern and Stewart study of 1957. Epiphyseal union is analyzed in terms of four stages: (1) nonunion wit…
Analysis of dorsal pitting in the Os pubis in an extensive sample of modern American females
Pubic bones from 486 modern American females between the ages of 13 and 99 were studied in an attempt to explore the relationship between the degree of dorsal pitting and the following variables: (1) number of full term pregnancies, (2) interval since last pregnancy, (3) age of decedent. A statistical association was found between the number of full term pregnancies and the degree of dorsal pitting. However, the correlation is not strong; 17 fema…
The statistical treatment of correlated bilateral traits in the analysis of cranial material
At present there is no standardized method to derive frequencies from bilateral non‐metric traits. In this paper the commonly used methods are evaluated in light of statistical considerations and degree of sample preservation. In particular, we explore the question of dependence between sides for the bilateral traits. Several workers have tested for bilateral trait correlation in incorrect ways, confusing tests for differences in side frequencies…
Problems in the aging of females using the Os pubis
The Gilbert‐McKern method for aging the female Os pubis has attained popularity following Gilbert's ('73) demonstration that the McKern‐Stewart male standards are not directly applicable to females. In order to assess the reliability of the method, forensic anthropologists were asked to age a set of 11 pubes of known age. There was a great deal of variability in the responses of the 23 participants. Three, four, and five different responses (out …

The use of inverse sine transformations in the analysis of non‐metric cranial data
In recent years osteologists have frequently used non‐metric (dichotomous) cranial data to measure biological distance between skeletal samples of Homo sapiens . Applying methods used earlier by biologists, these workers begin by attempting to stabilize the variance of the measures used by transforming the observed trait frequencies using some type of inverse sine transformation. The frequently used Grewal‐Smith transformation doesn't work well f…
