Esta investigación describe la frecuencia de dieciséis caracteres macromorfoscópicos craneales en tres poblaciones mexicanas contemporáneas; con el propósito, de ofrecer parámetros de referencia que puedan ser utilizados en estimación de... more
Sex—often analyzed through the visual assessment of robust or gracile nonmetric skeletal features—is one of the most important components of the biological profile, as it dictates the methods used in the estimation of age and stature.... more
Nonmetric traits are frequently analyzed in the field of anthropology to measure genetic relatedness, or biodistance within or between populations. These studies are performed under the assumption that nonmetric traits are inherited... more

Objectives: In the Late Intermediate Period Andes (AD 1100-1450), the proliferation of above-ground sepulchers reconfigured social boundaries within and between communities engaged in protracted conflict. However, the biosocial dimensions... more
Cranial nonmetric variation is quite popular in analyzing osteological remains at the population level and has successfully been used to evaluate the evolutionary relations and biological affinities among ancient and contemporary... more
The mean measure of divergence is a dissimilarity measure between groups of individuals described by dichotomous variables. It is well suited to datasets with many missing values, and it is generally used to compute distance matrices and... more

An alternative exit of the Inferior Petrosal Sinus is described. This cranial non-metric trait occurs as a small (<7 mm) foramen found 5 – 15 mm anterior to the Jugular Foramen. The distribution of the trait appears to be restricted to... more
Objectives: Secular change in cranial and postcranial morphometrics and morphological traits has been documented in several studies. However, to date, few studies have addressed temporal changes occurring in the expression of cranial... more
Studies have revealed the existence of statistically significant sex differences in the frequency of nonmetric traits, but no agreement seems to exist about their variability among populations. This problem was examined using the... more

Nonmetric and metric traits were studied in cranial series representing prehistoric and modern populations of America and Siberia. Frequencies of the infraorbital pattern type II (longitudinal infraorbital suture overlaid by the zygomatic... more
Özet Torus palatinus, sert damağın orta hattında, median sutur boyunca farklı boyut, biçim ve yapılıma sahip olan kemik kabartı olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Genetik faktörler sonucunda oluştuğu kabul edilen ve dünya genelindeki dağılımı... more
An unusual anatomical variation was observed in the skull excavated at Lanište (Raška district, Serbia), a Roman necropolis dating to the second half of the 4th century AD. The skull of an adult male showed a remarkably large... more
... Torus palatinusun gelişim derecesi Hauser ve De Stefano (1989) tarafından belirlenen kriterlere göre yok, hafif, orta, belirgin ve çok belirgin olmak üzere 5 gruba ayrılarak incelenmiştir (Resim 1-6). Torusun ... Bölge son derece sarp... more
