#' Buckberry & Chamberlain (2002) Iliac Auricular Surface Aging Dataset
#'
#' The dataset used in Buckberry and Chamberlain (2002) to develop a revised
#' method for the iliac auricular surface aging.
#'
#' @format a data.frame with 180 rows and 9 variables:
#' \describe{
#' \item{TO}{Transverse Organization, an ordered factor with 5 levels.}
#' \item{ST}{Surface Texture, an ordered factor vector with 5 levels.}
#' \item{MI}{Microporosity, an ordered factor vector with 3 levels.}
#' \item{MA}{Macroporosity, an ordered factor vector with 3 levels.}
#' \item{AP}{Apical changes, an ordered factor vector with 3 levels.}
#' \item{PHASE}{Phase, an ordered factor vector with 7 levels defining the modal
#' age-related stage of the ilaic auricular surface}
#' \item{SCORE}{Sum Score, a numeric vector with the sum of ST, TO, MI,
#'  MA, AP raw scores (as integers)}
#' \item{SEX}{Sex, a factor vector with 2 levels.}
#' \item{AGE}{Age-at-Death, a numeric vector }
#' }
