This research aims to determine the sex of non-adult skeletal
remains from two archaeological sites dating to the Roman
Imperial and Medieval periods by using morphological, morphometrics
and molecular approaches. The determination of sex from non-adult remains is a debated issue in the literature even though it has important
implications in the palaeodemographic reconstruction of past populations.
Concordance between the different approaches was obtained in the 63% of cases (N=19). The
obtained results although preliminary are encouraging even though much research is needed
for enlarging the sample size and for applying the cutting-edge High Throughput Sequencing (HTS) technologies
