The direction of the biasses points to their unicausality within the archaelogical context. Paleodemographic analyses depict a population whose infant and mature-senile mortality estimates, and sex ratio values, consistently deviate from a realistic protohistoric demographic model. Critical integration of archaeo-anthropological records indicates a distinctive ritual pattern (exclusion from the necropolis of specific people) for the ancient Latin population, differentiating it from the coeval Villanovian and Etruscan populations.","PeriodicalId":46008,"journal":{"name":"Anthropologischer Anzeiger","volume":"52 1","pages":"37-52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64053129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sex differences were also found to be significant upon consideration of the left, right and total a-b ridge breadth. The bimanual and sex differences observed may be attributed to developmental differences and exogamy.

In both traits, significant preponderance of the left type over the right one was revealed. Also, in both traits the excess of the left type is more pronounced in females but this sexual heterogeneity is significant only in the arm folding. Examination of the possible association between arm folding and hand clasping showed the independence between both asymmetries. On the other hand, the comparison between both sexes concerning distributions of the four possible combinations of types revealed statistically significant sexual dimorphism in this respect. Two kinds of dermatoglyphic asymmetry, directional and relative, have been investigated and comparisons have been made between right and left claspers and between right and left folders, each sex separately and finger-by-finger. Although statistically significant differences are not numerous, they have been discussed from the point of view of the importance of relationships between functional and morphological asymmetries.","PeriodicalId":46008,"journal":{"name":"Anthropologischer Anzeiger","volume":"51 1","pages":"69-76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"1993-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64052988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
