  • Metacarpal cortical bone loss and osteoporotic fractures in the Coimbra Identified Skeletal Collection
    Publication . Curate, Francisco; Perinha, Andreia; Silva, Ana Maria; Cunha, Eugenia; Umbelino, Cláudia; Nogueira, Catarina
    There has been considerable progress in recent years in our understanding of the patterns of cortical bone loss in the second metacarpal in archeological skeletal samples. Nevertheless, cortical data from reference skeletal collections are insufficient, and the possible connection of metacarpal cortical parameters with osteoporotic fractures has not been thoroughly addressed. As such, this article aims to identify and explain sex-specific and age-associated metacarpal cortical bone loss in a large sample (N = 302

  • Sex determination using the proximal femur: a method for portuguese populations
    Publication . Curate, Francisco; Umbelino, Claudia; Nogueira, Catarina; Perinha, Andreia; Cunha, Eugenia
    The evaluation of biological sex establishes a pivotal research requirement in the forensic and bioarcheological analysis of human remains [1]. The best techniques for sex assessment in unidentified skeletal individuals usually rely on the pelvis, and also the cranium and long bones – notably the femur [1,2,3]. This study presents a method for sex estimation using the proximal femur that is best suitable for Portuguese populations – both contemporary and from the past.
