All measurement in millimeters. Scores were calculated using discriminant functions. Negative and positive scores classified as females and males, respectively. MaxH, maximum length of humerus; EH, epicondylar breadth of humerus; MaxmH, maximum diameter at midshaft of humerus; MinmH, minimum diameter at midshaft of humerus; M, male; F, female; MaxU, maximum length of ulna; APU, antero-posterior diameter of ulna; MLU, medio-lateral diameter of ulna; PhyU, physiological length of ulna; MinU, minimum circumference of ulna; MaxR, maximum length of radius; APR, antero-posterior diameter at midshaft of radius; MLR, medio-lateral diameter at midshaft of radius.
