Abstract:
A simple method is described for measuring the depth of the sciatic notch in fetal ilia. Morphological and molecular analyses were undertaken separately to determine the sexes of seven Romano-British infant burials from the Roman villas at Beddingham, East Sussex and Bignor, West Sussex. Geometric analysis of the sciatic notch indicate that three of the infants from Beddingham were female, while three were male. Using the same criteria the Bignor baby was determined as female. Amelogenin polymerase chain reaction confirmed the sexing of four of the infants from Beddingham (three male, one female), but could not sex the other remains due to poor DNA preservation. If the burials at Beddingham were the result of infanticide, its victims were not exclusively female.
