Probability of being female based purely on the anthropoplogical (or biological) evidence, but NOT considering material culture. Therefore a value of 1 indicates female with certainty, a value of 0 indicates male with certainty, and a value of 0.5 indicates an equal probability of male or female. NA indicates that the individual has not been osteometrically assessed. For analysis purposes we can assume a prior of 0.5 for these. |
