Abstract
Evaluations of sex assessment using weighted traits on incomplete skeletal remains
Anna Kjellström
360 - 373
The paper discusses how fragmentation of skeletons affects the reliability of studies examining the possibility of scoring sexually dimorphic traits on the skeleton for sex determination, and considers how to assess sex attribution based on a variety of methods. Sex was determined for 354 skeletons from the medieval Swedish town Sigtuna, using well-recognized sexing techniques on the pelvis, skull and femur. The preservation of the skeletons varied markedly, thus affecting possibilities for sex assessments. An attempt was made to evaluate the result of the sex assessment when weighting of different traits with different scales was used. The resulting estimation for each individual was called total mean value A. In addition, a total mean value B that considers unobservable missing traits was estimated. It can be concluded that both weighting and fragmentation affect sex assessments of incomplete skeletons.
A foot deformity from a Romano-British cemetery at Gloucester, England, and the current evidence for talipes in palaeopathology

389 - 403
A male skeleton is described from the Romano-British site at Kingsholm, Gloucester, with abnormalities in the humerus, femur, tibia, fibula and foot. Computed tomography of the femora to enable cross-sectional analysis suggested altered normal gait to compensate for the deformity. Differential diagnoses are considered and a diagnosis of clubfoot deformity is suggested. Palaeopathological evidence for clubfoot is rare in the literature but the cases reported to date are reviewed.
