(PLOS) Ancient cremated human remains, despite being deformed, still retain sexually diagnostic physical features, according to a study released Jan. 30, 2019 in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Claudio Cavazzuti of Durham University, UK and colleagues. The authors provide a statistical approach for identifying traits that distinguish male and female remains within a population.
