author keywords: Bone weathering; Skeletal preservation; Tropical climate; Panama; Coiba Island; Buried remains
TL;DR:
Through the fieldwork analysis a decomposition timeline, specific for the Coiba micro-environment, was created, which can be used to estimate time since burial in other areas whose local context is similar to that found on Coiba.

Effect of Intentional Cranial Modification on Craniofacial Landmarks: A Three-Dimensional Perspective
JOURNAL OF CRANIOFACIAL SURGERY, 20(6), 2185–2187.
author keywords: Craniofacial morphology; deformed crania; geometric morphometrics
MeSH headings : Analysis of Variance; Anatomy, Cross-Sectional; Cephalometry; History, Medieval; Humans; Indians, South American / history; Peru; Skull / anatomy & histology
TL;DR:
Samples of both clinically normal and modified crania recovered from the same archeological site in Peru were studied using a three-dimensional approach to evaluate differences in landmark location and it was revealed that vault modification had no significant effect on the locations of landmarks of the facial and basal regions.

Sexual dimorphism in America: Geometric morphometric analysis of the craniofacial region
Kimmerle, E. H., Ross, A., & Slice, D. (2008, January). JOURNAL OF FORENSIC SCIENCES, Vol. 53, pp. 54–57.
author keywords: forensic science; sexual dimorphism; sex estimation; geometric morphometrics
MeSH headings : Black People; Female; Forensic Anthropology / methods; Humans; Image Processing, Computer-Assisted; Male; Multivariate Analysis; Principal Component Analysis; Sex Characteristics; Sex Determination by Skeleton / methods; Skull / anatomy & histology; United States; White People
TL;DR:
The consistency between American groups is interesting as it suggests that population differences in sexual dimorphism may result more from human variation in size than allometric variation in craniofacial morphology.

MeSH headings : Analysis of Variance; Forensic Anthropology / standards; Humans; Observer Variation; Reproducibility of Results; Skull / anatomy & histology; Software
TL;DR:
Researchers are cautioned to be mindful of type 3 landmarks measurement discrepancies when selecting landmarks for coordinate data evaluation, as these landmarks contain a substantial arbitrary component.

author keywords: forensic science; forensic anthropology; metacarpals; metatarsals; phalanges; sex estimation
MeSH headings : Discriminant Analysis; Female; Foot Bones / anatomy & histology; Forensic Anthropology / methods; Hand Bones / anatomy & histology; Humans; Male; Sex Characteristics; White People
TL;DR:
It is suggested that length measures are more appropriate than robusticity measures for sex estimation, and the phalanges were better sex discriminators than either the metacarpals or metatarsals.
