This paper presents a method of sexing skeletal remains using dental measurements. A base sample from a population is sexed with reference to the postcranial skeleton and the dental measurements (buccal-lingual and mesial-distal diameters) are analyzed by the discriminant function technique. A linear function is derived, which will classify by sex the remaining portion of the population.
