| description |
Human stature in archaeological remains is an important indicator of general health in past human population. Anatomical and mathematical methods were proposed to reconstruction of stature. The anatomical method is considered more accurate although its use is limited by the high skeletal completeness required. The mathematical approach uses regression equations that require the length of one or more long bones, but high variation in the relationship between real height and the segments used to estimate it has been detected. There are no specific formulas for stature estimation from skeletal remains of Southern Patagonia. The objective of this work is to identify which mathematical formulas predict height more accurately in relation to the estimates of the anatomical method. Results show that most of the mathematical formulas are very similar to the results obtained from the anatomical formula. For both sexes, the formulas with the highest coefficients of determination are grouped according to the required bone. The most exact stature formulas correspond mainly to those that use the femur. |

La talla en restos humanos de poblaciones arqueológicas representa un importante indicador general de la salud. Los enfoques para la estimación de talla son el anatómico y el matemático. El anatómico es considerado más exacto y no conlleva problemas de variabilidad interpoblacional, aunque su empleo se encuentra limitado por la necesidad de contar con una alta completitud esqueletal. El enfoque matemático, en cambio, utiliza ecuaciones de regresión que requieren la longitud de uno o más huesos largos. Sin embargo, se ha detectado alta variación en la relación entre la estatura real y los segmentos utilizados para estimarla. En Patagonia Austral, no existen fórmulas específicas para estas poblaciones, lo cual resulta en una baja comparabilidad de resultados y dificulta su selección al momento de estimar la talla. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar qué fórmulas predicen con mayor exactitud la talla en relación con las estimaciones del método anatómico. Los resultados indican que la mayoría de las fórmulas matemáticas proporcionan resultados similares a los resultados obtenidos con la fórmula anatómica. Además, para ambos sexos las fórmulas con mayor coeficiente de determinación tienden a agruparse de acuerdo con el o los huesos requeridos. Las estimaciones de talla más exactas corresponden principalmente a aquellas que emplean el fémur. O tamanho em restos humanos de populações arqueológicas representa um importante indicador geral de saúde. As abordagens para estimar a altura são anatômicas e matemáticas. O anatômico é considerado mais exato e não acarreta problemas de variabilidade interpopulacional, embora seu uso seja limitado pela necessidade de ter uma completude esquelética elevada. A abordagem matemática, em vez disso, usa equações de regressão que requerem o comprimento de um ou mais ossos longos. No entanto, alta variação foi detectada na relação entre a altura real e os segmentos usados para estimá-la. Na Patagônia Meridional, não existem fórmulas específicas para essas populações, o que resulta em baixa comparabilidade dos resultados e dificulta sua seleção na estimativa do comprimento. O objetivo deste trabalho é identificar quais fórmulas predizem a estatura com mais precisão em relação às estimativas do método anatômico. Os resultados indicam que a maioria das fórmulas matemáticas fornece resultados semelhantes aos resultados obtidos com a fórmula anatômica. Além disso, para ambos os sexos, as fórmulas com o maior coeficiente de determinação tendem a ser agrupadas de acordo com o (s) osso (s) necessário (s). As estimativas de altura mais precisas correspondem principalmente às que usam o fêmur. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
