Abstract
Two discriminant functions based on buccolingual and mesiodistal dental measurements are presented. These formulae aid sex determination of Arikara Indian skeletons recovered from the Northern Plains. Formula verification techniques indicate sex identification accuracy of at least 80%. These formulae are useful when skeletal preservation is poor or as an aid in sexing subadults.Keywords
