Metric Assessment of the Pubic Bone Using Known and Novel Data Points for Sex Estimation,

Abstract: Biological sex estimation of skeletal remains is essential in forensic and archaeological analyses. Anthropologists most often use the pelvis, which is the most sexually dimorphic element both morphologically and metrically. While nonmetric pubic bone features have been studied extensively, few metric studies have examined this individual bone for dimorphism. For this study, three observers examined three previously identified and ten novel measurements of the pubic body on a modern sample of isolated pubic bo… Show more

“…Discriminant analysis and, more recently, artificial neural networks have also been used in metric sex estimation whereby the variables are measurements that capture both size and shape differences between males and females [9][10][11][12][13][14]. A limitation of metric methods compared to morphological ones is that they are of limited applicability to fragmented partially preserved remains.…”

“…Shape and size differences between male and female pelvis, however, have long been noted and used for sex estimation in complete or portions of the os coxae [11,12]. The suggested lack of population specificity of the pelvis led researchers to develop a software (DSP2) that can predict sex based on measurements of the pelvis from over 2000 individuals and can give probabilities of correct group assessment [1].…”

“…The longest distance on acetabular rim in anteroposterior axis Maximum depth of acetabulum (MDA) (10) For measuring it, a steel bar was placed across the horizontal diameter of the acetabulum. Then, the maximum depth of the acetabulum was noted as the perpendicular depth between the deepest point of the acetabulum and the steel bar Linear length of acetabular notch (LLAN) (10) The distance between the innermost edges of the articular surfaces of the acetabulum Pubic body width (PBW) (12) The shortest distance between the inferior-most point of the symphysis pubis and the obturator foramen, usually near the base of the face and on the dorsal surface Length of pubic bone (LPB) (13) The distance between the central point of the acetabulum and the upper end of the symphyseal surface of the pubic body…”

“…Length of pubic bone upto acetabulum (LPA) (13) The distance between the upper medial end of the pubic bone and the nearest acetabular edge Symphysis height (SH) (12) The distance between the superior and inferior-most points of the pubic symphysis Ischium length (IL) (14) The distance between the central point of the acetabulum and the deepest point on the ischial tuberosity Ischiopubic ramus thickness (IPR) (12) The distance from the inferior-most point of the medial obturator foramen and the narrowest point inferior to the pubic symphysis Only one author (A.K.A.) measured all the parameters twice.…”
