    FOURTH MOLARS-HYPERDONTIA: A CASE REPORT IN MIDYAT/AKTAS,
    (2014) Ayşe ACAR
    Hyperdontia or Supernumerary teeth are called numeric anomalies of teeth that is rare condition of unknown etiology. Genetic factors play important etiological role in the development of supernumerary teeth. This study was done on human remains found in four tombs at Aktas Site (Midyat/Turkey) excavated in 2013. A case report presents occurence in two mandibles which have fourth molars from the first tomb. Burial remains of human skeletons were dated to archaeological periods in AD 3rd and 4th centuries. There has been no information on sex, age, cause of death and demographic data of Aktas population so far. Morphological technique was used for sex assessment in the samples. We used dental wear to assess the age. The age and sex of the first sample were estimated between 20 and 25, and male respectively. The fourth molar of the first sample is post-mortem absent and the alveolary is located in the distal M3. The sample was poorly preserved, that is why it was not possible to assess the age and sex in the second mandible. The fourth molar crown developed, however, its root was rudimentary and its size was smaller than the other molars in the second mandible. The cases described few samples of the supernumerary teeth.

    MORPHOLOGIC AND OSTEOMETRIC ASSESSMENT OF SEX FROM THE SKULL IN YONCATEPE POPULATION
    (2014) Ayşe ACAR
    Both forensic and archaeological sciences use metric and morphologic analysis of human skeletal remains for sex estimation of unknown individuals. Sex determination is the vital part of identification in forensic science. When the pelvis is unvaliable the skull is considered the second best indicator of sex. Morphological features and metric difference on sex determination are significant for adults. The purpose of this study was to apply morphologic and metric techniques on sex assessment from cranial dimensions. The study was done on human remains found in 6 tombs of Yoncatepe site (Van/Turkey) excaveted between 1998-1999. Morphological and metric techniques are used to determine sex by the skull. A total of 29 standard cranial measurements were taken from 11 male and 6 female skeletons in the population of Yoncatepe whose sex, age and demographic information were previously unknown. The measurements did not include adolescent skeletons. The measurements were taken in mm with a digital and sliding calipers and steel tape. The mean, minimum, maximum and standard deviation were calculated. Since the skeletal remains of archaeological series are very often poorly preserved and fragmentary, commingled numbers were measured from a number of bones of a number of skeletons. As a result all of the cranial dimensions were larger in males than females. The majority of males have narrow cranial structure. Both males and females have medium frontal width.
