- Sex determination using the proximal femur: a method for portuguese populationsPublication . Curate, Francisco; Umbelino, Claudia; Nogueira, Catarina; Perinha, Andreia; Cunha, EugeniaThe 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.
