What use are ontogenetic data anyway? Challenges in multivariate modelling of primate tooth formation
Even with careful application of statistical procedures, ontogenetic inferences are only as good as the data are comprehensive
Palaeoanthropology and the study of pre-adult fossil remains
The workshop advanced efforts to understand human evolution, particularly the selective pressures shaping patterns of growth and maturity across a broad range of hominin species
Development and Validation of a Subadult Sex Estimation Method Using Pelvic Metrics
The goal of this research is to explore the utility of pelvic interlandmark distances (ILDs) collected from partially and fully fused subadult innominates in sex estimation. The individuals were from the contemporary US subset of the Subadult Virtual Anthropology Database (SVAD) and between the ages of eight and 20 years (n = 364). Thirty-four pelvic landmarks were placed on 364 left innominates from which 11 standard ILDs were calculated using t…
Exploring Mutual and Exclusive Biological Information in Cranial Metric and Morphological Variables
Evidence suggests that both craniometric and cranial morphoscopic (MMS) traits elucidate information about cranial phenotypic variation and are appropriate proxies of genetic variation. Yet, the types of variation underlying the expression of craniometric and MMS traits are unknown. Recent data sets of matched skeletal metric and MMS data enable a holistic exploration into the cranial phenotype. Subsequently, the current study strived to provide …
Using multiple linear regression for estimating total mussel (Mytilus californianus) shell size to accommodate morphological variability related to diverse environments
Designing databases and using generalized estimating equations for entheseal datasets
Studying entheseal changes (EC) in human skeletal remains involves questions surrounding how researchers should collect, process, and evaluate these data as there are no set standards. Osteoarcheological research should also be able to answer population‐level queries using entheses, such as if group A was moving their body in different ways from group B? Or are there age‐related tasks or gendered labors? However, not all entheseal data can be eas…
Blunt Force Skeletal Trauma Research Methods
A key component of the forensic anthropological examination is skeletal trauma analysis, which accounts for the majority of forensic anthropologists' expert testimonies. However, a major gap in the current knowledge surrounding skeletal trauma has been identified, specifically the data necessary to conduct comprehensive bone trauma analysis with established error rates are lacking. Current methods and standards of skeletal blunt force trauma anal…
Addressing the growing fossil record of subadult hominins by reaching across disciplines
The field of paleoanthropology lacks a coherent methodology to study ontogeny in extinct hominins. During the past two decades in this field, several factors have served as an impetus to better define this subfield of study within human evolution. First is the increased recovery of immature hominin remains that span multiple genera-Australopithecus, Paranthropus, and Homo
Twenty-first century bioarchaeology
This article presents outcomes from a Workshop entitled "Bioarchaeology: Taking Stock and Moving Forward," which was held at Arizona State University (ASU) on March 6-8, 2020. Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the School of Human Evolution and Social Change (ASU), and the Center for Bioarchaeological Research (CBR, ASU), the Workshop's overall goal was to explore reasons why research proposals submitted by bioarchaeologists, both g…
A comparison of subadult skeletal and dental development based on living and deceased samples
OBJECTIVES: A fundamental assumption in biological anthropology is that living individuals will present with different growth than non-survivors of the same population. The aim is to address the question of whether growth and development data of non-survivors are reflective of the biological consequences of selective mortality and/or stress. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study compares dental development and skeletal growth collected from radiograph…
Combining Variables to Improve Subadult Age Estimation
Anthropologists have reported that the combination of multiple variables and indicators generally increases precision and reduces bias in age estimates. However, endeavors specific to subadult age estimation have primarily focused on estimating age of the living and therefore on variables and indicators that are active later in ontogeny and easy to image. The current study aimed to determine if multivariable, single-indicator age-estimation model…
The effects of vertical position in the intertidal zone on the δ18O and δ13C composition of Mytilus californianus shell carbonate
Rib Fracture Frequency and Location Using Vehicular Crash Data
Trauma analysis is critical in many death investigations and is the primary reason forensic anthropologists testify. This study aims to improve our understanding of the frequency and location of rib fractures, so the anthropologist can be more informed when making interpretations of blunt force trauma to the rib cage. Data were collected from computed tomography images of 180 individuals who were over 18 years of age and were in a motor vehicle a…
Subadult sex estimation from diaphyseal dimensions
OBJECTIVES: Many studies on subadult sex estimation focus on elements that express sexually dimorphic features in adults. In contrast, diaphyseal dimensions have been shown to display sex-specific differences prior to adolescence. The current study evaluates the use of diaphyseal dimensions in subadult sex estimation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighteen postcranial measurements from six long bones were collected on Lodox Statscan radiographic images …
Craniofacial Secular Change in Recent Mexican Migrants
Research by economists suggests that recent Mexican migrants are better educated and have higher socioeconomic status (SES) than previous migrants. Because factors associated with higher SES and improved education can lead to positive secular changes in overall body form, secular changes in the craniofacial complex were analyzed within a recent migrant group from Mexico. The Mexican group represents individuals in the act of migration, not yet in…
Using multivariate adaptive regression splines to estimate subadult age from diaphyseal dimensions
Subadult age estimation is considered the most accurate parameter estimated in a subadult biological profile, even though the methods are deficient and the samples from which they are based are inappropriate. The current study addresses the problems that plague subadult age estimation and creates age estimation models from diaphyseal dimensions of modern children. The sample included 1,310 males and females between the ages of birth and 12 years.…
