goldman: Goldman Osteometric Data Set

In geanes/bioanth: Datasets useful in Biological Anthropology

Description

The Goldman Osteometric Data Set consists of postcranial skeletal metric measurements, sex estimates, and broad age estimates made by Dr. Benjamin Auerbach between 2001 and 2003. These represent a global sample of humans dating throughout the Holocene, though most samples are from preindustrial groups. A total of over 1500 individuals from 59 locations are included in the data set. Only measurements from the upper limb (humerus & radius), lower limb (femur & tibia), and pelvis were taken.
