Sexual Dimorphism in Modern Javanese Crania: A Metric Approach

Establishing the biological profile of an unknown skeleton is one forensic anthropologist main tasks; sex them. In sexing skulls, specific standard assessment designed for each population can improve accuracy rate due to its population-specific traits. This study aims describe sexual dimorphism in contemporary Javanese crania while employing metric methods. The measurements 50 male and 37 female were traditionally collected from nine craniometric points (i.e., g-op, eu-eu, ft-ft, zy-zy, n-pr, n-ns, apt-apt, go-go, n-gn) using calipers. found that out measuring points, two (ft-ft, apt-apt) variables does not differ significantly between samples. indicates that, accordance with previous studies, ft-ft apt-apt are good predictors sex. Future studies observing non-metric on would serve as a meaningful aid improving reliability when crania.
