Age At Death In The Human Skeleton: A Combined Analysis Of Four Phase-Based Aging Systems To Determine Effieciency And Accuracy In Multifactorial Age Range Assignments, Jennifer Carol Giesecke
LSU Master's Theses
Analyses of human skeletal remains by physical anthropologists necessitate precise methods for the determination of age at death. Physical anthropologists recognize that the most accurate estimations of age at death are produced from evaluation of multiple indicators of age. To this end, three skeletal sites, the auricular surface, pubic symphysis, and right fourth sternal rib end, are often evaluated for age in adult skeletal remains. However, as of yet, no standardized method of combining the respective estimates of age provided at these sites has been reported. The above mentioned skeletal sites of 49 females and 77 males from the Hamann-Todd …
