(University of Pretoria, 2009-05-18)The study of skeletal differences between males and females has rarely taken into account the physical change in hard tissue characteristics with the onset of advanced age. Anatomical change through degenerative modification ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2011-11-24)The quantification of skeletal data is one way in which to demonstrate variation in human growth. In South Africa, few researchers have assessed patterns of growth in immature mandibles. The purpose of this study was to ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2015)While postcraniometric sex estimation has shown promising results in North American (NA) samples, methods and standards for sex estimation in South Africa (SA) are restricted by incomplete samples and a lack of robust ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2021)The objective of this research project is to assess craniometric differences among the socially defined black South African groups, namely Zulu, Sotho, Pedi, Venda, Tshwane, Tsonga, Swazi, Xhosa, and Ndebele. Current ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2010)Providing a presumptive identification of badly decomposed or skeletonized remains is the responsibility of a forensic anthropologist. An important component of identification is the estimation of a post-mortem interval ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2007-05-10)Estimating age at death from skeletal remains can be done with relative accuracy when a skeleton is complete, however incomplete and/or poorly preserved skeletons pose a problem in assigning an accurate age range to unknown ...
-
Evaluating standard non-metric cranial traits used to determine ancestry on a South African sample (University of Pretoria, 2010-05-12)Research on the estimation of age at death, sex and stature from skeletal remains has received more attention than methods used to evaluate ancestry. While this may be due to the stigma attached to classifying people into ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2011)In forensic anthropology, laboratory-based (LBM) and field-based (FM) models can be used to develop new methods and to research the stability and rate at which bio-molecules degrade. In this study, both these methods were ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2020)Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a pathological condition that primarily affects the spine. The focus of this study was to investigate the possible link between a diet rich in animal proteins and DISH ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2012-09-14)With both a heterogeneous population and a large number of unidentified persons in South Africa, an accurate method to estimate ancestry is needed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate variation in nasal aperture shape ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2013)The main goal of a forensic anthropological analysis of unidentified human remains is to establish an accurate biological profile. The largest obstacle in the creation or validation of techniques specific for subadults ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2015)The primary role of a physical anthropologist is to provide sufficient information to assist in the individualisation of unknown skeletal remains. This is often achieved in establishing a biological profile of the deceased, ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2008-08-11)With a large number of unidentified skeletal remains found in South Africa, the development of osteometric standards to determine sex from various bones is crucial. It is imperative that a forensic anthropologist have ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2013)Forensic anthropologists and taphonomists are often tasked with interpreting the sequence of events from death through decomposition to skeletonisation. Discovery of burnt bone often evokes questions as to the condition ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2018)A forensic anthropologist’s primary role involves establishing a biological profile from unknown skeletal remains. Extensive research has been conducted on methodology to construct the biological profile from adult remains. ...
