Validation methods of Fazekas and Kósa and Molleson and Cox for age estimation of the ilium in Western Mediterranean non-adult population: proposal of new regression formulas.
TLDR
The documented age of the individuals has been underestimated with the Fazekas and Kósa method and overestimated with Molleson and Cox and new formulas are proposed for the age estimation of non-adults in Western Mediterranean populations.Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to test the applicability of the age estimation methods of Fazekas and Kosa [1] and Molleson and Cox [2] in Western Mediterranean non-adults and to develop accurate and rapidly applied formulas for their age estimation, using a sample of 149 non-adults of known sex and age from the cemetery of San Jose in Granada (Spain) Measurements have been taken of the maximum length and width of each ilium for application of the formulas of Fazekas and Kosa [1] and Molleson and Cox [2] There has been no significant intra- or inter-examiner variation in measurements The documented age of the individuals has been underestimated with the Fazekas and Kosa method and overestimated with Molleson and Cox Based on these findings, new formulas are proposed for the age estimation of non-adults in Western Mediterranean populationsread more

Age estimation in infant skeletal remains by measurements of the pars lateralis
TL;DR: The functions obtained are applicable to incomplete pars lateralis, allowing for age estimation in a wide set of contexts and providing straightforward age estimates with their respective margin of error.

Sex determination of infant and juvenile skeletons: I. Morphognostic features
TL;DR: Sexual distinctive traits in the mandible and ilium are presented for morphognostic diagnosis and allow individuals between birth and five years of age to be successfully allocated to either sex in 70-90% of the cases.

TL;DR: A large collection of identified human skeletons curated at the Bocage Museum (National Museum of Natural History, Lisbon, Portugal) has remained in relative anonymity since its collecting protocol was initiated in the 1980s.
