title: [Age and sex diagnosis of the skeleton of immature individuals].
abstract: In connection with increasing theory-bound investigations in prehistoric anthropology age and sex diagnosis of children's skeletons is gaining importance. Developmental stages of the tympanic plate are introduced as an additional criterion for ageing infants. Discriminant functions derived from ilium and femur measurements allow preliminary access towards a metric sexual diagnosis of fetal and neonate individuals.
