| Abstract | dc.description.abstract | In the analysis of human skeletal or otherwise unidentifiable remains the assessment of sex is an initial
vital element when rendering a biological profile. As such other aspects of the biological profile are sexspecific
(e.g. stature and age) and cannot be successfully determined without this preliminary
assessment. In addition, the estimation of stature is an essential parameter of the biological profile,
which is often used to confirm or exclude presumptive identifications.
The purpose of this study is to present newly developed local identification criteria for the estimation
of sex from the postcrania and stature for Chileans. Linear discriminant functions were derived for the
humerus and femur. Sexing accuracies of 87%, 86%, and 82% were achieved. Furthermore, new univariate
predictive stature equations are presented using a Bayesian approach for the humerus, femur and tibia. | es_CL |
