Abstract

The lateral angle method of sex estimation is tested on an archaeological population with genetic sex estimates. Casts of the internal auditory canal were made using a quick drying impression material on 90 individuals (76 adults and 14 nonadults) from Anglo-Saxon and Medieval Cambridgeshire. The anterior and posterior angles of the internal auditory canal were measured, and the relationship of the angle to genetic sex was tested. The posterior angle failed intra-observer error tests, and only the anterior angle could be analysed. Using the previously published sectioning point for unburnt remains (45°), the method did not adequately distinguish between the sexes. Furthermore, the difference between male and female was insufficient to create population-specific discriminant functions. The anterior angle does not meet the requirements for an osteological method of sex estimation, exhibiting no statistical correlation with genetic sex in this population.

在盎格鲁-撒克逊和中世纪考古人群中测试用基因估计性别的侧角法进行性别估计

在考古人群中测试了侧角性别估计法与遗传性别估计法。使用快干印模材料对来自盎格鲁-撒克逊和中世纪剑桥郡的 90 个个体（76 个成年人和 14 个非成年人）的内耳道进行了铸造。测量了内耳道的前角和后角，并检验了角度与遗传性别的关系。后角未能通过观测者内部误差测试，因此只能对前角进行分析。使用之前公布的未烧焦遗骸切片点（45°），该方法不能充分区分性别。此外，男性和女性之间的差异不足以创建特定人群的判别函数。前角不符合骨学性别估计方法的要求，在该人群中与遗传性别没有统计相关性。

期刊介绍： Archaeometry is an international research journal covering the application of the physical and biological sciences to archaeology, anthropology and art history. Topics covered include dating methods, artifact studies, mathematical methods, remote sensing techniques, conservation science, environmental reconstruction, biological anthropology and archaeological theory. Papers are expected to have a clear archaeological, anthropological or art historical context, be of the highest scientific standards, and to present data of international relevance. The journal is published on behalf of the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, Oxford University, in association with Gesellschaft für Naturwissenschaftliche Archäologie, ARCHAEOMETRIE, the Society for Archaeological Sciences (SAS), and Associazione Italian di Archeometria.
