Oh, this is great! And thank you for putting it the way you did: after about the third time I read an account where grave goods were used to sex a skeleton, and then the skeleton's sex was used to gender the same the grave goods, I started to get really, really disappointed.
Q: So is the pelvic pitting=childbirth thing thoroughly debunked in terms of positive results as well as negatives? Because I just went to the temporary forensic anthropology exhibit at the Smithsonian (which is admittedly almost two years old) and it was talked about there, without any caveats. And that exhibit is spoken of very highly by lots of forensic anthropologists, so D: if so.
