“…Nevertheless, in certain anthropological studies, it is not an indispensable phase as long as the appropriate methods are applied and the limitations are considered. The Almansa collection has provided 46 complete ossa coxae, whose sex was determined by the DSP method (Murail et al 2005), which has been demonstrated to be a non-population-specific method (Chapman et al 2014) and a valid technique in terms of accuracy and reliability (Krishan et al 2016). In our case, the 46 ossa coxae analyzed were classified with a reliability of 99.74% in Fig.…”

“…The sex is allocated using the DSP program only if the posterior probability is equal to or greater than 0.95, but the individuals who fail to reach this value are classified as indeterminate. Other researchers have confirmed these results (Chapman et al 2014;Mestekova et al 2015;Krishan et al 2016) with accurate and reliable classifications in populations from regions that initially were not incorporated into the database of the method (S anchez-Mejorada et al 2011). The objectivity of this methodology lies in working with combinations of measures (always in a number higher than four), thus improving the study of fragmentary bone remains.…”

“…The study material was reduced to complete ossa coxae from adult individuals. The sex of the ossa coxae analyzed had been previously determined and confirmed by the DSP method, with reliability higher than 95% (Murail et al 2005;S anchez-Mejorada et al 2011;Chapman et al 2014;Mestekova et al 2015). This is a very important detail because in many of the above-mentioned investigations the remains studied come from undocumented osteological collections in which sex determination has been performed using an inappropriate methodology.…”

Geometric morphometrics reveals restrictions on the shape of the female os coxae

The methodology for sex determination in human skeletal remains depends on the different bone morphologies presented by men and women. Due to their direct implications in reproduction, the whole pelvis, particularly the os coxae, shows different characteristics in either sex. The sacrum and the os coxae constitute the birth canal. In this research study, the os coxae shape is analyzed using geometric morphometrics, providing information on morphology, regardless of size or any other factor beyond the geometry itself. A total of 46 adult ossa coxae from a Spanish archaeological collection were studied using geometric morphometrics. The results show that there is a restriction on the shape of female os coxae. In contrast, male os coxae presents a greater range of variation. The biological reason for this difference is the obstetrical dilemma; a concept defined as the anatomical conflict between bipedalism and the full-term birth of a neonate whose large head requires greater dimensions in the pelvic cavity. Our experimental data reinforce the validity of the obstetrical dilemma as source of the restriction on the shape of female ossa coxae. Additionally, according to the results obtained, size itself does not represent a condition for belonging to one sex or another.

“…Tato metoda je vhodná pro zhodnocení kosterních pozůstatků ze slavkovské šibenice. Za prvé, metoda DSP má vysokou senzitivitu (99,63 % na původním souboru), na současné populaci Francouzů až 100 % (Chapman et al 2014;Mesteková et al 2015). Je vhodná i pro novověké populace (je uváděno, že je využitelná pro populace od počátku 18. století do současnosti.…”

ABSTRAKT Při záchranném archeologickém výzkumu slavkovské šibenice byly objeveny lidské kosterní pozůstatky, kumulované v několika shlucích v neanatomickém uspořádání. Při laboratorním zpracování byly určeny základní demografické charakteristiky souboru. Vzhledem k charakteru nálezu nebylo možno identifikovat kompletní kostry jedinců. Minimální počet jedinců (s využitím pravých stehenních kostí) byl stanoven na 15. Tělesná výška byla odhadnuta s využitím metody organické korelace dle Sjøvolda. Nejvyšší jedinec měřil 173,0 cm (±4,52 cm), nejnižší jedinec měřil 157,5 cm (±4,52 cm). Kromě dospělých jedinců byly objeveny i pozůstatky dvou nedospělých jedinců (dožitý věk byl odhadnut na 16-17 let). Všichni dospělí jedinci příslušeli do věkových kategorií adultus a maturus, nejstarší z nich se dožil kolem 50 let. Mezi kosterními pozůstatky se nacházely ostatky jedné ženy. V souboru byly také nalezeny některé velmi zřídka se vyskytující anatomické variety (spina bifida anterior et posterior atlantis, os bregmaticum), doklady komplikovaného hojení traumatu i doklady nezhojených fraktur kostí dlouhého typu vzniklých perimortem. U dvou kostí byly též zaznamenány doklady zánětlivého onemocnění (pravděpodobně syfilis). KEY WORDS gallows; skeletal remains; trauma; anatomical varietiesABSTRACT During a development-led archaeological research of the Slavkov gallows non-anatomically positioned human remains were uncovered in several complex accumulations. The remains were analyzed in a laboratory and fundamental demographic characteristics of the sample were assessed. With regard to the character of the find complete individual skeletons were not identifiable. Minimum number of individuals (MNI, using right femora) was established at 15. Body height was estimated using the organic correlation method by Sjøvold. The tallest individual measured 173,0 cm (±4,52 cm), the shortest individual measured 157,5 cm (±4,52 cm). Besides adult individuals also skeletal remains of two adolescents were uncovered (their age at death was estimated at 16-17 years of age). All the adult individuals belonged to the adultus and maturus categories, the oldest one lived to be approximately 50 years old. Skeletal remains of one female were uncovered. Also, the skeletal remains sample yielded some very infrequent anatomical varieties (spina bifida anterior et posterior atlantis, os bregmaticum), evidence of complicated healing process of skeletal trauma as well as evidence of non-healed long bone fractures which originated perimortem. In two cases of long bones evidence of inflammatory disease (likely syphillis) was observed.
