“…The only classification method that appears to exist regarding this trait is from Wakode et al (2018). In this study, the researchers indicate that the trait can be detected with a magnifying glass and the number of vascular foramina of the calcaneus should be recorded.…”

The usefulness of anatomical variation is determined by the knowledge of why nonmetric traits appear. Clear descriptions of the traits are a necessary task, due to the risk of confusing anatomical variants and evidence of trauma. Numerous interpretations of the appearance of calcaneal anatomical variants add to the need of an anatomical atlas of calcaneal nonmetric traits. We have analyzed a total of 886 calcanei; 559 belong to different modern and pre‐Hispanic samples, and 327 bones were studied from a reference collection from Athens. In this study, we present the anatomical variations that exist on the calcaneus bone, some of which have rarely been mentioned in previous research. The standardization of methods proposed may be useful to experts working in human anatomy, physical anthropology as well as comparative morphology, due to usefulness of this information during surgery, and bioanthropology to observe and study the lifestyle of past populations.

“…However, the measurements are not crucial for recording this nonmetric trait. Based on Wakode et al (2018), an ordinal method can be applied that allows group classification in bioanthropological studies. This method depends on the number of foramina observed on the medial surface of the calcaneus to compare population differences.…”
