Sex determination of human remains from peptides in tooth enamel (2017)
Journal Article
Andre Stewart, N., Fernanda Gerlach, R., Gowland, R. L., Gron, K., & Montgomery, J. (2017). Sex determination of human remains from peptides in tooth enamel. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 114(52), 13649-13654. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1714926115

The assignment of biological sex to archaeological human skeletons is a fundamental requirement for the reconstruction of the human past. It is conventionally and routinely performed on adults using metric analysis and morphological traits arising fr... Read More about Sex determination of human remains from peptides in tooth enamel.
