RESULTS Characteristics of sexual expressedness The individual values of the 21 indices presenting sexual dimorphisms were given in Table 2. The mean values of the above characteristics were +0.67 for men and -0.80 for women, therefore the skeletal material of the Avar Period population of Kaposvár 26 site bore a moderate sexual dimorphism (Table 3). Of the characteristics examined on men's skulls the most marked masculinity was borne by glabella, by arcus superciliaris (+1.05) and by trigonum mentale (+1.00), at the same time protuberantia occipitalis externa (-0.08) and arcus zygomaticus (-0.04) presented the least masculin character. Caput femoris (+1.49) and sulcus praeauricularis (+1.41) proved the most masculin of skeletal bones while incisura ischiadica major (-0.40) was the least masculin one. In case of women protuberantia occipitalis externa (-1.42) and margo supraorbital (-1.38) turned out to be the most feminin, while foramen obturatum (-1.33), incisura ischiadica major (-1.11) and caput femoris (-1.11) presented the same characteristic on the skeletal bones. The least degree of feminin character was peresented by caput mandibulae (-0.33) and corpus mandibulae (-0.21) on the skull, and by sacrum (-0.43) on the skeletal bones. On the skull glabella and arcus superciliaris (2.07), as well as processus mastoideus (1.96) proved to be the most markedly differentiating characteristics between men and women, therefore these were the most suitable for determining sex. Caput femoris (2.60), sulcus praeauricularis (2.26), angulus subpubicus (2.18) and pelvis minor (2.17) presented the largest difference between the two sexes on the skeletons. The data in brackets are the differences of male and female values.
