IDADE2 - Option 1
Adult age estimation based on our reference data from the acetabulum

Before choosing a specific reference collection, you should remember that the reference collection chosen should be as biologically proximate as possible to your test sample (e.g., if you are analyzing a U.S. sample, select one of the William M. Bass modern American datasets). Please also note that there are two options for acetabular aging methods (Rissech et al., 2006; San-Millán et al., 2017). Be sure that you choose the dataset that corresponds with the acetabular scores as you took them.

In each methodological option there are different data sets. In the Rissech method you can find a reference sample from Spain (Valladolid collection), another from North America (Bass collection) and a third from Colombia (Bogota Forensic Institute Collection). The Spanish collection (Valladolid collection) comes from the data of Powanda (2008) and is constituted by 24 women and 52 men. The North American collection (Bass collection) comes from the data of San-Millán et al (2019) and is constituted by 370 women and 456 men. The Colombian collection (Bogota Forensic Institute Collection) comes from Muñoz-Silva et al (2020) and is constituted by 185 women and 378 men.

In the SanMillán-Rissech method you can find a reference sample from Portugal (Lisbon collection) and another from North America (Bass collection). The Portuguese collection (Lisbon collection) comes from the data of San-Millán et al (2017) and is constituted by 317 women and 294 men. The sample from North America (Bass collection) comes from the data of San-Millán et al (2019) and is constituted by 370 women and 456 men.
