Background: Determination of sex from skeletal remains is one of the important aspects of Osteometric analysis. Objectives: The present study was planned to collect data regarding total length of fully ossified dry human left tibia and to find out possible variations in male and female. Methodology: This analytical type of cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy at Sir Salimullah Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2014 to June 2015 for a period of one year. In this study fully ossified dry human left tibia of unknown sex were collected from In this study fully ossified dry human left tibia of unknown sex were collected from the department of Anatomy and also from the students of Sir Salimullah Medical College (SSMC), Dhaka, Ibrahim Medical College (IMC), Dhaka, Dhaka National Medical College (DNMC), Dhaka and Bangladesh Medical College (BMC), Dhaka. The study samples were distributed in male and female sex groups by discriminate function analysis. Total lengths were measured with the help of an osteometric board. Results: A total number of two hundred (200) fully ossified dry human left tibia of unknown sex were analyzed. The mean (±SD) values of total length were greater in male (38.82 ± 2.94) cm than female (33.48 ± 1.68) which was statically significant (p< 0.001). Conclusion: In conclusion the total length is greater in male compared to female.

“…Bioarchaeologist studying this period depend on accurate determinations of sex. Previous researchers [12,[20][21][22] have shown that anthropometric measurements of the tibia allow reasonably accurate sexing when these data are analyzed with discriminant functions. Skeletal biologists have also long recognized that each population group requires its own specific standards for accurate determination of sex, and that it is necessary to calculate discriminant functions on samples from different geographical areas.…”

“…Firstly it is, following the femur, the second most robust bone in the human skeleton and therefore most likely to resist insult and decomposition. Secondly, previous studies [12,[20][21][22] have shown that there is considerable sexual dimorphism in the tibia and that this bone can successfully be used to differentiate between the sexes.…”

“…Ayrıca sadece femur başı yerine, bununla birlikte yapılan diğer ölçümlerle güvenirlik oranı %92'ye çıkmaktadır (39). Yalnız tibia kullanılarak yapılan çalışmalarda %94,9 -%98,3 aralığında başarı sağlanmıştır (40). Kol kemikleri de cinsiyet tayinin de yüksek kesinlik sunmaktadır.…”

ÖZETCinsiyet tayini kimlik tespitinin ilk adımlarından biridir. Pek çok iskelet parçası halihazırda analiz için kullanılmakta ve ayırıcı teknikler gelişmektedir. Omurlar henüz en az çalışılan kemikler arasında olmasına karşın olay yerinde bulunanlar arasında en yaygın olanıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Pretoria Kemik Koleksiyonu'ndaki Güney Afrikalı beyaz ve siyah popülasyonun cinsi varyasyonunu analiz etmektir. Örnekler 144 kişinin tam vertebralarından oluşmaktadır. C7, T1, T11, T12 ve L5 kemiklerinin her birinden 0.01mm hassasiyetindeki dijital kumpasla yedi ölçü alınmıştır. Bu kemiklerin seçilmesinin nedeni anatomik açıdan ve vertebral sütundaki konumları bakımından tanınması en kolay kemikler olmasıdır. Cinsiyet farklılıkları SPSS istatistik programında, diskriminant analizi kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Yapılan analizler beyazlarda %89, siyahlarda %85'lik doğruluğa ulaşmıştır. Her bir kemik stepwise prosedüründe girildiğinde, bir cinsiyeti diğerinden ayırmak için, yedi ölçüden sadece iki ya da daha azı seçilmiştir. En yaygın seçilen ölçüler posterior ve inferior transvers çap, superior anteroposterior ölçülerdir. Doğruluk oranı beyazlarda %89 ve siyahlarda %84 olarak T1'de sıralanmaktadır. En düşük dimorfizm ise L5'te beyazlarda %80 ve siyahlarda %64 olarak L5'te görülmektedir. Açıkça görülmektedir ki vertebralar da pek çok uzun kemik gibi dimorfiktir. Bu diğerlerinin üzerinde bir avantaja sahiptir, çünkü bunlardan olay yerinde pek çok vardır. Vertebral kolon üzerindeki çalışmalardaki zorluk, pek çoğu kayıp olduğunda her bir kemiği sıralayıp tanımlamaktır. Bu çalışmada kolaylıkla tespit edilebilen kemikler kullanılmıştır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Cinsiyet tayini, pretoria kemik koleksiyonu, vertebralar, adli antropoloji, olay yeri. ABSTRACTSex determination is one of the first steps in human identification. Many parts of the skeleton have already being analyzed and appropriate techniques developed. Vertebrae are among the least studied bones yet its presence at a death scene is the most common of all. The purpose of this presentation is to analyze sexual variation in South African white and black populations from the Pretoria Bone Collection. The sample is composed of complete vertebrae from 144 individuals. Seven measurements were taken from each of the C7, T1, T11, T12 and L5 with a digital caliper sensitive to 0.01 mm. These bones were selected because of their being recognized easily due to their anatomy and position in the vertebral column. Sex differences were assessed using the discriminant function procedure in SPSS. The analysis provided an accuracy rate of 89% in whites and 85% in blacks. When each bone with its seven dimensions entered into the stepwise procedure only 2 or less were selected to separate one sex from the other. Accuracy rate ranged from 89% in white and 84% in black T1s. The least dimorphic of all was 80% in white and 64% in black L5s. It is clear that vertebra is as dimorphic as many of the long bones. It has certain advantages over others because there are many of them in a crime scen...
