Testing assumptions of the Gilbert and Gill method for assessing ancestry using the femur subtrochanteric shape.

Homo : internationale Zeitschrift fur die vergleichende Forschung am Menschen - 1 Jan 2008

Wescott D, Srikanta D

Abstract excerpt

In 1990, Gilbert and Gill proposed a simple metric technique using femoral subtrochanteric anteroposterior and mediolateral diaphyseal diameters for discriminating between Native American and American Black and White femora in medicolegal and bioarchaeological contexts. However, there are several inherent assumptions in the method that may affect its validity. The assumptions include minimal sexual dimorphism,...
