László Szathmáry: Importance of Pre-auricular Region Sex Determination (in the analysis of a medieval sample from NE Hungary) (lektorálta: Marcsik Antónia)v67

(1959.) elaborated a four-scaled system of standardization for pre-auricular sulcus which, nevertheless, cannot be adjusted to the five-scaled system frequently used (ACSÁDI-NEMESKÉRI1970.). This gives ground for the attempt the present study makes at distinguishing the five degrees in sexualization, in the pre-auricular region of ilium bone. Material and method The examinations covered skeleton remains from North-Eastern Hungary dating from the 10th to the 17th centuries (including 265 adult males and 206 adult females). The distribution of the findings is demonstrated in Table 1. The archaeological documentation is accessible in the Herman Ottó Museum in Miskolc (1), in the Jósa András Museum in Nyíregyháza (2), in the Déri Museum in Debrecen (3) and in the Hungarian National Museum in Budapest (4).
