Sex Estimation of the Human Skeleton is a comprehensive work on the
theory, methods, and current issues for sexing human skeletal
remains. This work provides practitioners a starting point for
research and practice on sex estimation to assist with the
identification and analysis of human remains. It contains a
collection of the latest scientific research, using metric and
morphological methods, and contains case studies, where relevant,
to highlight methodological application to real cases. This volume
presents a truly comprehensive representation of the current state
of sex estimation while also detailing the history and how we got
to this point. Divided into three main sections, this reference
text first provides an introduction to the book and to sex
estimation overall, including a history, practitioner preferences,
and a deeper understanding of biological sex. The second section
addresses the main methodological areas used to estimate sex,
including metric and morphological methods, statistical
applications, and software. Each chapter topic provides a review of
older techniques and emphasizes the latest research and
methodological improvements. Chapters are written by practicing
physical anthropologists and also include their latest research on
the topics, as well as relevant case studies. The third section
addresses current considerations and future directions for sex
estimation in forensic and bioarchaeological contexts, including
DNA, secular change, and medical imaging Sex Estimation of the
Human Skeleton is a one-of-a-kind resource for those involved in
estimating the sex of human skeletal remains.
