Given the broad range of classification rates when examining the os pubis alone, the use of the Phenice (1969) or Klales et al. (2012) methods alone is not sufficiently reliable. However, incorporation of the sciatic notch would improve classification rates over the use of the pubic region alone. Another commonly referenced method of visual assessment of sex considers multiple features of the entire innominate bone (Bruzek 2002). In an attempt to address issues of subjectivity in other methods, Bruzek examined sex differences in the morphology of five pelvic features: aspects of the preauricular surface, aspects of the greater sciatic notch, the form of the composite arch, the morphology of the inferior pelvis, and ischiopubic proportions. The characteristics of these features were described as having male, female, or intermediate forms of expression, and the total numbers of female or male traits were compared to estimate sex (Bruzek 2002). This method was applied ...
