Sex determination in skeletal remains from the medieval Eastern Adriatic coast – discriminant function analysis of humeri

Abstract: AimTo investigate the usefulness of humerus measurement for sex determination in a sample of medieval skeletons from the Eastern Adriatic Coast. Additional aim was to compare the results with contemporary female population.MethodsFive humerus measurements (maximum length, epicondylar width, maximum vertical diameter of the head, maximum and minimum diameter of the humerus at midshaft) for 80 male and 35 female medieval and 19 female contemporary humeri were recorded. Only sufficiently preserved skeletons and t… Show more

“…The estimation of sex using metric methods has been explored by many researchers of both contemporary (Barrier and L'Abbé 2008;Celbis and Agritmis 2006) and historical populations (Bergmann et al 1962;Cowal and Pastor 2008;Bašić et al 2013). The humerus or clavicle have been studied intensively and standards have been obtained for several populations, from the Adriatic coast (Bašić et al 2013), the southern India region (Patil et al 2011), Iran (Akhlaghi et al 2012), and even prehistoric New Zealand populations (Murphy 1994).…”

“…Sex estimation is an important first step in the development of a biological profile in human osteology and is used in both bioarchaeological studies (González et al 2007;Bašić et al 2013) and forensic anthropological analysis (Kamdi et al 2014;Peckmann et al 2015). In these fields, it is important to recognize the sex of the skeleton, regardless of the state of preservation.…”

“…They comprise: medieval femora, tibiae and humeri (Šlaus 1997;Šlaus and Tomičić 2005;Bašić et al 2013), medieval and contemporary mandible and teeth (Vodanović et al 2006;Vodanović et al 2007), and contemporary femora and tibiae (Šlaus et al 2003; Šlaus et al 2013). Until now, no such study has been conducted on late antique populations from this area.…”
