Geometric Analysis of Mandible using Semilandmark in Hamdani and Awassi sheep

The aim of this study is to determine whether or not the breed and sex factors have an effect on shape in mandibles Hamdani Awassi sheep. A total 31 were used. samples analyzed via geometric morphometric methods by using semilandmark. In study, it was determined that primary principal component accounted for 36.52% difference. According analysis, clustered significantly terms breed; whereas, they sex. component, places where differences concentrated attachment sites teeth mandible, between second molar ramus processus coronoideus angulus mandible. Mandible sheep had a higher body than mandible male more voluminous female sheep, especially area. Consequently, thought data obtained as result would serve reference ruminant remains from archaeological excavations.
