“…The mean difference in the MTAL measurement variable between contemporary Thai male tali and contemporary Thai female tali was 6.36 mm. This result is consistent with the existing published literature (Abd-elaleem et al, 2012;Barrett et al, 2001;Dayal, 2003, 2004;Gualdi-Russo, 2007;Holland, 1995;Lee et al, 2012;Mahakkanukrauh et al, 2014;Murphy, 2002b;Otong et al, 2016;Peckmann et al, 2015b;Silva, 1995;Steele, 1976;Wilbur, 1998).…”

“…These results are consistent with those of other researchers who have shown that the calcaneus and the talus are sexually dimorphic (Abd-elaleem et al, 2012;Barrett et al, 2001;Bidmos, 2006;Bidmos and Asala 2003Dayal, 2003, 2004;DiMichele and Spradley, 2012;Ekizoglu et al, 2017;Gualdi-Russo, 2007;Holland, 1995;Introna et al, 1997;Kim et al, 2013;Lee et al, 2012;Mahakkanukrauh et al, 2014;Moore et al, 2016;Murphy, 2002aMurphy, ,b, 2005Nathena et al, 2017;Otong et al, 2016;Peckmann et al, 2015a,b;Riepert et al, 1996;Scott et al, 2017;Silva, 1995;Steele, 1976;Wilbur, 1998;Zakaria et al, 2010;Zhang et al, 2016).…”

“…Studies have shown that the calcaneus and the talus can be used for the estimation sex (Abd-elaleem et al, 2012;Barrett et al, 2001;Bidmos, 2006;Bidmos and Asala 2003Dayal, 2003, 2004;DiMichele and Spradley, 2012;Ekizoglu et al, 2017;Gualdi-Russo, 2007;Holland, 1995;Introna et al, 1997;Kim et al, 2013;Lee et al, 2012;Mahakkanukrauh et al, 2014;Moore et al, 2016;Murphy, 2002aMurphy, ,b, 2005Nathena et al, 2017;Otong et al, 2016;Peckmann et al, 2015a,b;Riepert et al, 1996;Scott et al, 2017;Silva, 1995;Steele, 1976;Wilbur, 1998;Zakaria et al, 2010;Zhang et al, 2016). However, there are limited published studies, which investigate the accuracy of the calcaneus and the talus for the estimation of stature (Bidmos and Asala, 2005;Bidmos, 2006;Holland, 1995;Pablos et al, 2013).…”

ii ACKNOWLEGMENTS This thesis could not have been completed without the support and copious contributions of numerous people and institutions. The quality of this research was significantly enhanced by the kindly contributions of my thesis committee. First and foremost, I express gratitude to my thesis committee supervisor, Dr. Tanya Peckmann for her direction, supervision, devotion, and patience (during the countless hours spent reading and revising my work). As a teacher and an advisor, you have provided invaluable experiences and opportunities that have helped to shape my career, and I have grown so much as a scholar, teacher, and a professional under your tutelage. I also wish to thank the supporting members of my thesis committee, Dr. Michelle Patriquin and Dr. Claudia Garrido-Varas for their expertise and feedback. During my time at Saint Mary's University, Michelle has become both a mentor and a friend. So often I pushed forward with revived motivation after our impromptu discussions; you have been a valuable and positive resource throughout my degree. Thank you is also extended to Dr. Claudia Garrido-Varas, who was able to provide unique insight into this research based on her practical experience as a forensic advisor in Thailand during the 2004 'Boxing Day' tsunami. Thank you, Claudia, for agreeing to serve on my committee, and for taking the time to review my work while abroad. generous with her time over the years, guiding me through statistical analyses and interpretation on more than one occasion, and patiently answering my constant barrage of questions. Susan, your assistance has immeasurably enriched my research. Finally, thank you to my family and friends for their unwavering support, encouragement, and willingness to lend an ear or share a drink.

“…Long bones have demonstrated their usefulness in sex assessment studies (e.g., Ruff and Hayes 1988;Liu 1989;González-Reimers et al 2000). However, it is not just the morphologic data for long bones which is studied, but also the measurements for scapula (Spradley and Jantz 2011), ribs (Kubicka and Piontek 2016), carpal bones (Mastrangelo et al 2011), calcaneus (Peckmann et al 2015), talus (Otong et al 2016), and even the internal auditory canal located on the temporal bone (Gonçalves et al 2015).…”

Several studies have shown that sex estimation methods based on measurements of the skeleton are specific to populations. Metric traits of the upper long bones have been reported as reliable indicators of sex. This study was designed to determine whether the four long bones can be used for the sex estimation of an historical skeletal population from Radom (Poland). The material used consists of the bones of 169 adult individuals (including 103 males and 66 females) from the 18th and 19th centuries. Twelve measurements were recovered from clavicle, humerus, radius and ulna. The initial comparison of males and females indicated significant differences in all measurements (p < 0.0001). The accuracy of sex estimation ranged from 68% to 84%. The best predictor for sex estimation of all the measurements in Radom's population was the maximum length of the radius (84%), and the ulna (83%), and the vertical diameter of the humeral head (83%). The Generalized Linear Model (GLM) detected the strongest significant relationship between referential sex and the vertical diameter of the humeral head (p < 0.0001), followed by the maximal length of the ulna (p = 0.0117). In other measurements of the upper long bones, GLM did not detect statistically significant differences.
