Race, Ethnicity, and Applied Bioanthropology
Introduction. Why Classify Race? (Claire C. Gordon National Association for the Practice of Anthropology Bulletin Jan 1993, Vol. 13, No. 1: 1-6. Race, Ethnicity, and Human Engineering). The Impact of Racial Variation on Human Engineering Design Criteria (Robert A. Walker National Association for the Practice of Anthropology Bulletin Jan 1993, Vol. 13, No. 1: 7-21). Biocultural Influences in the Analysis of Secular Trends (Claire C. Gordon , Thoma…
Applied Physical Anthropology in the U.S. Army
In recent decades anthropometry has declined, except for applied anthropology. Instead of measuring the bodies of the last remnants of aboriginal populations, anthropometrists measure military personnel and civilians in order to design railroad and airplane seats and space suits. Doctors of Philosophy have become tailors to the new age of science. C. Coon, The Origin of Races (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1962)

Why Classify Race
Interobserver error in a large scale anthropometric survey
The adverse effects of interobserver error on morphometric population comparisons are well documented in the literature. While interobserver error can rarely be avoided, it can be minimized by having a single individual locate and mark relevant landmarks, by limiting the number of observers for each variable, and by reviewing repeated measures data daily to catch and correct measurer drift during data collection. In this study, two pairs of exper…
Secular trends of 22 body dimensions in four racial/cultural groups of American males
Data from the recent U.S. Army Anthropometric Survey provide a unique opportunity to assess long‐term changes in body dimensions within the Army population. This report considers secular trends for 22 body dimensions within four racial/cultural groups: Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, and Asian/Pacific Islanders. Individuals were grouped by year of birth into 5 year cohorts, spanning 1911 to 1970. Rates of secular change were calculated by regressing a…
Soil pH, Bone Preservation, and Sampling Bias at Mortuary Sites
Prediction of human skeletal preservation at mortuary sites is important in archaeological research and in cultural resources management. In this study, correlations between osseous deterioration and soil acidity, as measured by pH, were found to be significant. Age-associated preservation biases were also evident. The use of multiple regression is suggested as a technique for estimating recovery of human osteological remains in archaeological co…
