There are many locations on the skeleton utilised for sex assessment. The acetabulum and the auricular surface were chosen for this study as the morphology of both locations is directly influenced by the physical requirements for gait and childbirth. These areas have among the highest rates of survival in the burial environment, lending these locations an excellent source for sex determination on very fragmented human remains. This research was conducted to identify the degree of sexual dimorphism in the acetabulum and auricular surface.
