一旦尸体完全腐烂，就有必要根据骨骼来确定性别。髋骨是决定性别的最可靠的指标，因为两性异形的模式对整个人类来说是共同的。提出了两种可靠的从髋骨判断性别的视觉方法。然而，作者建议使用一种基于判别函数分析的方法，其中包括作者最近在大量已知性别个体样本中开发的概率方法。本文还讨论了骨骼其他部位性别二态性的种群特异性。作者特别坚持鉴别函数在盆腔外测量上的固有局限性。
Once a body is completely decomposed, it is necessary to determine sex from the skeleton. The hip bone is the most reliable indicator for sex determination because the pattern of sexual dimorphism is common to the whole human race. Two reliable visual methods are suggested to assess sex from the hip bone. However, the authors recommend the use of a method based on discriminant function analysis including a probabilistic approach that the authors recently developed with a large sample of known-sex individuals. The population specificity of sexual dimorphism of the other parts of the skeleton is also discussed. The authors particularly insist on the inherent limits of discriminant functions on extrapelvic measurements.
