Sexual dimorphism of the calcaneus in contemporary Cretans

In the past several decades, forensic anthropology as well as bioarchaeological research have expressed a growing interest towards identifying the sex of an individual from its skeletal elements. Long bones, flat bones and the skull have been the subject of numerous studies based on different reference populations employing a vast variety of different measurements [1–5]. Amongst the sexually dimorphic bones of the human skeleton, the calcaneus, which is considered the most robust bone of the foot, is the focus of this study.
