Küçük Ayasofya Toplumunun Sağlik Ve Yaşam Özelli̇kleri̇
Skeletal remains are the conventional materials used in assessing the physical, genetic, and health characteristics of past cultures and to infer on their dietary history, lifestyle and demography. The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristic markers in the life of a Late Byzantine population who lived nearby the Sea of Marmara in Istanbul and to assess the nutrition and effects of urbanization in the area. Remains are from the fi…
Age Estimation from the Rib by Phase Analysis
Metamorphosis at the sternal extremity of the rib has already been established as a reliable indicator of age at death. Using a sample of white males, it was shown that an accurate estimation of age can be made by direct examination of the bone itself. However, because of sexual differences in hormonal production and dimorphism in the skeleton, the present study was carried out to develop an appropriate standard for age determination from the ste…
The Supraorbital Torus
The supraorbital torus is found only in some genera of the primate order. Because no muscles of consequence attach directly to it, it has been considered nonfunctional. However, invitro strain-gauge experiments demonstrate that when the anterior teeth are loaded, the supraorbital region acts as a bent beam, pulled downward on each end by masticatory muscle forces and pushed upward centrally by bite force. Clinical and experimental data indicate t…

Age Estimation from the Rib by Phase Analysis
The determination of age at death is an important part of physical and forensic anthropology. Techniques now in use vary from direct observation of a bone to microscopic examination of a given segment. This study introduces the sternal end of the rib as a new site for age estimation by direct observation. The sample consisted of 118 white male ribs of verified age, sex, and race. The ribs were assigned to one of nine phases (0 through 8) based on…
Determination of sex from the Tibia
Determination of sex from the tibial shaft as well as the entire bone itself has not been generally investigated by osteologists. This paper is an attempt to fulfill this need. The purpose is to determine sex from both the complete tibia and the shaft at the nutrient foramen level. The sample was obtained from the Terry Collection and included 159 specimens of whites and blacks. The tibial length, and circumference, anteroposterior, and transvers…
Metamorphosis at the sternal rib end
While the pubic symphysis and intracortical morphometry have provided successful results in estimating age at death, other methods and sites in the skeleton are needed to improve the accuracy of age estimation. This research is an attempt to develop a new age‐determination technique by using the sternal extremity of the rib. The right fourth rib was collected at autopsy from 93 white males. The sternal extremity of each rib was analyzed in relati…
Assessment of race from the pelvis
Racial assessment of human postcranial skeletal remains has been a major concern for forensic and skeletal anthropologists. Materials (N = 400) of the present study are from the Terry Collection and consist of 100 black and white American pelves of both sex with known age and race. Measurements were taken from the articulated pelves. Results of discriminant function analysis indicate classificatory accuracy may be as high as 88%. Transverse pelvi…
Integral Forensic Anthropology
Forensic anthropology is a new discipline with a long history of development and accomplishment. It traces its origin to the 19th century and includes many of the diverse areas of anthropology. However, its present growth is usually attributed to the effort of Ellis R. Kerley, of the University of Maryland. Kerley has been responsible for establishing the field as an intregral part of the forensic sciences. He also established it as a section of …
