Sex assessment using clavicle measurements: Inter-and intra-population comparisons
M Králík, P Urbanová, M Wagenknechtová - Forensic Science International, 2014 - Elsevier
We studied sexual dimorphism of the human clavicle in order to describe size variation and
create population-specific discriminant tools for morphometric sex assessment. The studied
sample consisted of 200 skeletons of adult individuals obtained from the University of
Athens Human Skeletal Reference Collection, Athens, Greece. The specimens were well-
documented and represented a modern population from cemeteries in the Athens area. Six
dimensions typically used for clavicle measurements were recorded. For sexing clavicles …
