Abstract

Problems recently discovered in the Kerley method of estimating age at death from cortical microstructure are discussed. Kerley's original data have been re‐analyzed to produce new regression equations and to document the original field size.

A method of histological determination of age at death, using the anterior cortex of the femur, was tested on a group of adult Preceramic skeletons from Chile (ca. 3300Β±3000 years BP). These skeletons had been previously studied by another investigator who assigned sex and morphological ages. Compar

The importance of the mechanical role of collagen in bone is becoming increasingly more clear as evidence mounts on the detrimental effects of altered collagen on the mechanical properties of bone. We previously examined a set of mechanical properties (material stiffness, strength, and toughness) of
