Dental wear in the Libben population: Its functional pattern and role in the determination of adult skeletal age at death
TL;DR: Dental wear is concluded to be a highly reliable and important indicator of adult age at death for skeletal populations if seriation procedures are employed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age Estimation from the Auricular Surface of the Ilium: A Revised Method
TL;DR: A revised method for estimating adult age at death using the auricular surface of the ilium, which has a slightly higher correlation with age than do the Suchey-Brooks pubic symphysis stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-sectional geometry of Pecos Pueblo femora and tibiae--a biomechanical investigation: I. Method and general patterns of variation.
TL;DR: An automated system utilizing an electronic digitizer and computer software was used to analyze cross-sectional geometric properties of 11 femoral and tibial locations in 119 individuals from the Pecos Pueblo, New Mexico site, allowing identification of clear differences in geometric properties between different regions of the femur and tibia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multifactorial determination of skeletal age at death: A method and blind tests of its accuracy
TL;DR: This represents the first truly blind test of an age-at-death indicator or system, as the test populations were independent of the system(s) being tested, and the age, sex, and ethnogeographic origin of the individuals being assessed were completely unknown until the tests were completed.
Book
Forensic Facial Reconstruction
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the importance of the face in society and the history of facial reconstruction, going on to evaluate the accuracy of modern facial reconstruction methods and the relationships between the hard and soft tissues.

Diet and the aetiology of dental calculus
TL;DR: The aetiology of dental calculus formation is not fully understood, but it is known that a number of factors play a role and anthropologists have overlooked the role of other causative factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex differences in dental caries experience: clinical evidence, complex etiology
TL;DR: Women's oral health declines more rapidly than men's with the onset of agriculture and the associated rise in fertility, and tooth loss in women is greater than in men and has been linked to caries and parity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone formers: osteophyte and enthesophyte formation are positively associated
TL;DR: Osteophytes and enthesophytes are associated, such that a proportion of the population can be classified as “bone formers”, and Enthesophyte groupings provide some clues to aetiopathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antiquity of cancer.
TL;DR: It would seem likely that genetic changes in humans caused biological variations, including susceptibility to cancer over time, and socio-cultural changes also changed the patterns of human cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Demographic change and forensic identification: problems in metric identification of Hispanic skeletons.
TL;DR: Using metric data from the Forensic Anthropology Data Bank, several issues that forensic anthropologists face when confronted with Hispanic remains are explored, including estimation of sex, height, and ancestry, the initial components of a biological profile.
