Abstract The objective of this study is to analyse the accuracy and applicability AncesTrees software with respect a set cranial measurements Brazilian sample consisting 114 identified skulls from two osteological collections, predominantly composed European (n = 59), African 35), admixed individuals 20). Twenty-four different craniometric are performed input via algorithms, one which used in t...

Human osteological documented collections (DCs), also referred to as “identified collections”, are a valuable resource in biological and forensic anthropology, they offer the possibility for hypothesis-driven research on sex age-at-death estimation methods, human variability, other morphometric-based parameters of individual identification. Consequently, feature many publications addressing sci...

The Forensic Anthropology Center at Texas State (FACTS) began accepting whole-body donations for scientific research and educational purposes under the Anatomical Gift Act in 2008. Research conducted with donated whole bodies involves studies taphonomy human decomposition, including reconstructing postmortem interval. Following skeletal elements of all donors are collected, cleaned, permanently...

In some jurisdictions, race, ancestry or population affinity are part of the biological profile used in preliminary identification, for historical and political reasons. It is long overdue forensic anthropologists to abandon this typological approach human variation, regardless terms used. Using a sample (n = 105) selected from Terry Coimbra identified reference collections, blind experimental ...

The mandible is the strongest bone of the skull, and it is commonly utilized in forensic anthropology for determination of sex from skeletal remains. It has been extensively studied by both metric and non-metric methods, but for this purpose an intact mandible is often required. This study was conducted in Indian population using discriminant function analysis to calculate the accuracy of two p...
