Population-specific stature estimation from long bones in the early medieval Pohansko (Czech Republic)
Original language description
Objectives:We tested the effect of population-specific linear body proportions on stature estimation. Materials and Methods:We used a skeletal sample of 31 males and 20 females from the Early Medieval site at Pohansko (Beclav, Central Europe) and a comparative Central European Early Medieval sample of 45 males and 28 females. We developed new population-specific equations for the Pohansko sample using anatomical reconstructions of stature, then compared percentage prediction errors (%PEs) of anatomicalstature from limb bone lengths using the derived Pohansko equations with those previously derived from more general European and other Early Medieval samples. Results:Among general European equations, the lowest %PEs for the Pohansko sample were obtainedusing the equations of Formicola and Franceschi: Am J Phys Anthropol 100 (1996) 83-88 and Ruff et al.: Am J Phys Anthropol 148 (2012) 601-617. However, unexpectedly, the choice between tibial latitudinal variants proposed by Ruff et al.:
