Abstract

A poster presented at the British Association for Biological Anthropology and Osteoarchaeology (BABAO) conference 2016 at University of Kent.A study into the use of photogrammetry for osteological analysis of remains from the Mary Rose, and a comparison to the analysis of the corresponding real crania. Four osteologists performed the study, examining 5 crania in the form of digital copies, and 5 different in the real, tactile format.The results showed that photogrammetry could be used for most sex trait determinants, though the lack of tactile analysis was an issue for some features.This study is part of a wider project that aims to analyse the use of photogrammetry for a number of cranial features, in addition to sex determination.
