Non-metric variations in individuals who died during the perinatal period in past populations: recording protocol and comparative data by Caroline Partiot, Dominique Castex, Valérie Delattre, Bruno Maureille, Mark Guillon

“…Non-metric variations, also referred to as "epigenetic variations" or asymptomatic bone variants, are bone or dental phenotypic variants of unknown origin, with no known pathological etiology. They are classically identified during osteological analysis to develop an individual profile, analyse biological affinities between individuals and outline possible genetic relatedness clusters in burial spaces. …”
