The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract In a large sample of adult crab‐eating macaques, we quantified sexual dimorphism in size, shape, and covariance across the whole skull and among anatomical regions of the cranium and mandible. All regions showed significant mean sex differences, but the magnitude of size and shape dimorphism varied substantially.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The preauricular sulcus has long been debated as a pelvic feature variably attributed to obstetric stress, ligamentous traction, and broader biomechanical processes. To clarify its determinants, we analyzed 409 adult individuals from three archeological and one early modern skeletal collection from the Iberian Peninsula, integrating graded ...

Metaphor and Materiality in Early Prehistory [PDF]
, 2010 In this paper we argue for a relational perspective based on metaphorical rather than semiotic understandings of human and hominin1 material culture. The corporeality of material culture and thus its role as solid metaphors for a shared experience of ...

A Minimalist Approach to Archaeological Data Management Design
, 2018 If archaeology is to deal with the Bbig questions^ of the human past, large datasets are required with common data structures that allow for comparison of data derived from markedly different times and places.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) is a frequently underrecognized condition characterized by overgrowth of the frontal endocranium, most commonly observed in post‐menopausal women. Although its etiology remains unclear, hormonal influences and a possible relationship with neurocognitive changes have been proposed.

Conditions of emergence and existence of archaeology in the 19th century: the royal archaeological institute 1843 -1914 [PDF]
, 1999 Traditional histories of archaeology have left lacunae in understanding of both the discipline and elements within it. Using the Royal Archaeological Institute and its product, the Archaeological Journal, as a pattern site for research the archaeological

Revista de Arqueologia, 2008 In this essay I pay particular attention to some of the strategies for learning that are implied by the phrase “other things being equal”. I will begin with a common situation where a scientist offers generalizations from data and or experiences that ...

Computational fluid dynamics simulations of airflow through the nasal passages of rhinolophoid bats
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The nasal passages of bats that emit their echolocation call through their nostrils have adapted for sound emission as well as standard respiratory and olfactory functions. Rhinolophids, hipposiderids and rhinonycterids all use a high duty cycle (HDC) echolocation strategy.

The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify
