Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a new, automated method for estimating age-at-death using machine learning, which reduces the reliance on expert opinion and personal bias.
- The method focuses on features extracted from the acetabulum of the pelvis and creates a multi-linear regression model to perform age estimations, showing a Mean Absolute Error of around 10.7 years across various populations.
- The developed software tool, CoxAGE3D, allows users to estimate age-at-death without needing expert input and provides specific models for multiple populations, demonstrating its versatility and accuracy.
Men with writing proficiency enjoyed a privileged position in ancient Egyptian society in the third millennium BC. Research focusing on these officials of elevated social status ("scribes") usually concentrates on their titles, scribal statues, iconography, etc., but the individuals themselves, and their skeletal remains, have been neglected.

(2017) on a heterogeneous Israeli population. Mandibular linear dimensions were measured on 60 CT scans derived from the Czech living population.

The present study aimed to evaluate the validity of MorphoPASSE software for sex estimation from sexually dimorphic cranial traits recorded on 3D CT models (n = 180) from three populations samples (Czech, French, and Egyptian). Two independent observers performed scoring of 4 cranial traits (2 of them bilateral) in each population sample of 30 males and 30 females.

We focused on the effect on dental health of socioeconomic changes associated with the boom in silver mining at the site.
Design: In this study, dental caries and antemortem tooth loss were recorded for 469 sexed adults (10,558 permanent teeth).
