| Abstract | |
Sex determination of skeletal remains is part of the archaeological, anthropologic and many medico-legal examinations. The methods vary and depend on the available bones and their condition. The only method that can give a totally accurate result is the DNA technique, but in many cases for several reasons it cannot be used. Teeth are excellent material for anthropological, genetic and forensic investigations and can be used in the determination of sex. |
