Human skeletal and dental remains continue to provide the most direct evidence for examining the biology of past populations (Larsen, 1997, 2002). Quantitative (i.e., metric) as well as more qualitative (i.e., nonmetric or discrete) aspects of human biological variation remain central to studies in physical anthropology since its inception. Measurement of living (anthropometry) and skeletal rem...
