Braun, Sandra; Ridel, A.F. (Alison); L'Abbe, Ericka Noelle; Oettle, Anna C. (Elsevier, 2023-03)BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE : In forensic anthropology, the biological profile is based on human variation and can help in the process of personal identification. In order to better understand shape variation of the mental region, ...

Oettle, Anna Catherina; Demeter, F.P. (Fabrice); L'Abbe, Ericka Noelle (Wiley, 2017-01)The variable development of the zygoma, dictating its shape and size variations among ancestral groups, has important clinical implications and valuable anthropological and evolutionary inferences. The purpose of the ...

Stull, Kyra Elizabeth; Kenyhercz, Michael W.; L'Abbe, Ericka Noelle (Elsevier, 2014-12)Population history and positive assortative mating directs gene flow in such a way that biological differences are recognized among groups. In turn, forensic anthropologists quantify biological differences to estimate ...

L'Abbe, Ericka Noelle; Keough, Natalie; Nawrocki, S.J.; Creative Studios, Dept of Education Innovation, University of Pretoria (2008-09-29)FORDISC 3.0 (FD3) is an analytical program distributed by the University of Tennessee that employs discriminant analysis to assist in assessing sex, ancestry, and stature from unidentified skeletal remains. While American ...

Hutchinson, Erin Frances; L'Abbe, Ericka Noelle; Oettle, Anna Catherina (Elsevier, 2012-04)Quantification of skeletal data has been shown to be an effective and reliable method of demonstrating variation in human growth as well as for monitoring and interpreting growth. In South Africa as well as internationally, ...

Keough, Natalie; L'Abbe, Ericka Noelle; Steyn, M.; Pretorius, S. (Elsevier, 2015-01)Forensic anthropologists are tasked with interpreting the sequence of events from death to the discovery of a body. Burned bone often evokes questions as to the timing of burning events. The purpose of this study was to ...

Steyn, Maryna; Becker, Piet J.; L’Abbé, Ericka Noelle; Scholtz, Yvette; Myburgh, Y. (Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2011-08)Forensic anthropologists frequently use measurements of the human skeleton to determine sex and ancestry. Since the establishment of the Daubert criteria of admissibility of scientific evidence to court, methodologies ...

Mbonani, Thandolwethu Mbali; L'Abbe, Ericka Noelle; Ridel, Alison Fany (Elsevier, 2024-06)Forensic Facial Approximation (FFA) has evolved, with techniques advancing to refine the intercorrelation between the soft-tissue facial profile and the underlying skull. FFA has become essential for identifying unknown ...
