Sex determination of medieval skeletal remains

During 2019, 28 grave constructions were excavated at cemetery Metaljica (Hadzici municipality, Bosnia and Herzegovina). Archaeological excavation have revealed 17 well preserved skeletons that subjected to anthropological, odontological genetic analyses. To determine sex by analysis, amelogenin DYS391 loci taken into consideration. Concordance between results of analyses applied in this research occurred one sample out 17. In four samples, was determined only since sexual dimorphism indicators not preserved. determinations observed two while affirmative anthropological analysis obtained sample. Discrepancy the majority samples can be atributted state preservation skeletal remains, interpopulation differences allele drop-out. Moreover, applicable juvenile/subadult skeletons, sexually dimorphic characteristics relevant for metric morphological are developed developmental period. This study emphasizes importance combining methods order archaeological remains accurately.
