Cross-population analysis of the growth of long bones and the Os coxae of three early medieval Austrian populations

Article Abstract:

Growth curves of the upper and lower extremities of additional archaeological populations and modern North-American population are assessed and bone measurements are analyzed against dental age estimates. The results show differences between bones in the extent of inter-population variability, with diaphyseal long-bone growth showing equivalent patterns across the four populations.
