Application of Methods for a Morphological Analysis of the Femoral Diaphysis Based on Clinical CT Images to Prehistoric Human Bone: Comparison of Modern Japanese and Jomon Populations from Hegi Cave, Oita, Japan

Figure 5

Morphological parameters standardized with diaphyseal lengths of modern (Imamura, et al.,[9]), Initial/Early Jomon, and Late Jomon Period populations. (a) Mean cortical bone thickness, (b) maximum cortical bone thickness, (c) periosteal border length, (d) area of cortical bone, and (e) area of section. Averages are plotted at each cross-sectional level. Error bars indicate ±1 standard deviation. Significant differences analyzed by a two-way ANOVA followed by multiple comparisons were indicated in each graph.
