The purpose of this study is to test the applicability of the age estimation methods of Fazekas and Kósa [1] and Molleson and Cox [2] in Western Mediterranean non-adults and to develop accurate and rapidly applied formulas for their age estimation, using a sample of 149 non-adults of known sex and age from the cemetery of San José in Granada (Spain). Measurements have been taken of the maximum length and width of each ilium for application of the formulas of Fazekas and Kósa [1] and Molleson and Cox [2]. There has been no significant intra- or inter-examiner variation in measurements. The documented age of the individuals has been underestimated with the Fazekas and Kósa method and overestimated with Molleson and Cox. Based on these findings, new formulas are proposed for the age estimation of non-adults in Western Mediterranean populations.
本研究的目的是测试法泽卡斯和科萨[1]以及莫利森和考克斯[2]的年龄估计方法在西地中海地区未成年人中的适用性，并利用来自西班牙格拉纳达圣何塞墓地的149名已知性别和年龄的未成年人样本，开发出准确且应用迅速的年龄估计公式。为应用法泽卡斯和科萨[1]以及莫利森和考克斯[2]的公式，已对每块髂骨的最大长度和宽度进行了测量。测量过程中，检查者内部和检查者之间均未出现显著差异。使用法泽卡斯和科萨方法时，个体的记录年龄被低估；使用莫利森和考克斯方法时，个体的记录年龄被高估。基于这些发现，提出了用于西地中海人群未成年人年龄估计的新公式。
