Micro-CT analysis of the internal acoustic meatus angles as a method of sex estimation in skeletal remains

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: < 0.05). A 45° sectioning point was applied, and sex allocation using this measurement was correct in 81.81% of adult samples. In turn, when utilizing the measurement at the level of modiolus of the cochlea, we did not obtain a satisfactory result in sex classification (59.09%). In subadults (male and female samples), the anterior lateral angles were undifferentiated. Thus, the conducted micro-CT analysis shows that the anterior lateral angle measurement method can be used as a preliminary indication of sex in adult individuals.
