1 year ago Proposed regions of interest for the sections of the TA 2.0 part of the age estimation template:
Pubic Symphysis
All measurement data are about phaleron-si:LeftSymphysealSurfaceOfPubis for observations on the left pubic bone and about phaleron-si:LeftSymphysealSurfaceOfPubis on the right.
The relevant regions need to be observable (i.e. with intact surface).
Auricular Area
All measurement data are about phaleron-si:LeftAuricularAndPostAuricRegion for observations on the left ilium and about phaleron-si:RightAuricularAndPostAuricRegion on the right.
The relevant regions need to be observable (i.e. with intact surface).
Cranial Sutures
The measurement data reference the regions of interest that border with the suture segment in question. This implies that each measurement datum is about two regions of interest.
| Measurement datum | left | right |
|---|---|---|
| Coronal pterica | phaleron-si:LeftSquamousPartOfFrontalBone rdfbones:EntireBoneOrgan_fma52789 |
phaleron-si:RightSquamousPartOfFrontalBone rdfbones:EntireBoneOrgan_fma52788 |
| Lambdoidal asterica | rdfbones:EntireBoneOrgan_fma52789 phaleron-si:SquamousPartOfOccipitalBone |

|---|---|
| Sagittal obelica | rdfbones:EntireBoneOrgan_fma52789 rdfbones:EntireBoneOrgan_fma52788 |
| Interpalatine | rdfbones:EntireBoneOrgan_fma53656 rdfbones:EntireBoneOrgan_fma53655 |
Coronal pterica is about one side of the squamous part of the frontal bone and the adjacent parietal bone. Lambdoidal asterica is about one parietal bone and the squamous part of the occipital bone. Zygomaticomaxillary is about one maxilla and the adjacent zygomatic bone.
Sagittal obelica is about the two parietal bones. Interpalatine is about the two palatine bones.

@JEB13, @HannahLiedl, @elizabethhannigan, @hayesleigh, @sacheever, @jstamer95: What do you think of these suggestions?
TA2 defines a number of measurement data that are about various parts of various skeletal elements. For the implementation in the Phaleron database it needs to be decided which anatomical regions of interest these data items should be about.
During a meeting between the Phaleron Bioarchaeological Project and the RDFBones/AnthroGraph workgroup on 17 January 2023 it was decided that the decision should be taken through discussion in a GitHub issue.
