The shape of the mandible of the Great-Moravian population using the methods of geometric morphometric

Abstract

The aim of this study was to use 3-D geometric morphometrics to evaluate mandibular shape variability in individuals from the Great-Moravian Empire, to test sexual dimorphism, and to compare the Great-Moravian population with a recent one.
