This paper describes the method of osteometric sorting. Osteometric sorting is the formal use of size and shape to sort bones from one another. The method relies heavily on measurement data and statistical models and is designed to maximize objectivity. The goal of this paper is to validate the use of osteometric sorting and to provide case examples of its utility. Selected regression models are also presented for use with osteometric sorting. We advocate this technique as one tool among many in the anthropologist's toolkit for sorting commingled skeletal remains.
本文介绍了骨骼测量分类法。骨骼测量分类法是正式运用尺寸和形状对骨骼进行相互分类的方法。该方法严重依赖测量数据和统计模型，旨在实现最大程度的客观性。本文的目的是验证骨骼测量分类法的用途，并提供其实用性的案例。还介绍了与骨骼测量分类法一起使用的选定回归模型。我们提倡将这项技术作为人类学家用于对混合骨骼遗骸进行分类的工具包中的众多工具之一。
