The present study varies from conventional methods and proposes alternate methods for the assessment of sex using the ulna. The present study is based on 100 male and 60 female adult ulnae from Madhya Pradesh. India. The results of different methods are reported independently and examined together. The data is then analysed using a discriminant function procedure for estimating sex. The resulting variables correctly assign sex for 99% of males and 91.7% of females. The calibrated discriminant functions correctly classified 100% of males and 88.23% of females of an independent test sameple
