The anthropological evaluations of human skeletonsobtained from Zeytinli island excavations gave important information about ageand gender especially when the skull was taken into account and especially theuse of radiological examinations increased the reliability of this information.In particular, theuseof radiological examination sincreas esther reliability of this information.Our study was carried out between 2007 and 2011 by taking the skulls of a totalof 22 individuals, 6 females and 16 males between the 2nd century BC and the12th century AD, uncovered as a result of the excavations performed in ZeytinliIsland. The image staken by multislice computed tomography were transformedin tothree-dimensional form with workstation software, and their interorbital,biorbital and bizygomatic measurements were performed. The skull measurement valueswere presented as median (range) with a whisker graphic. The median female and malevalues were comparedusing the Mann-Whitney test. The Pearson correlation testwas used to examine the correlations between the measurement values. The fact thatthe p-value was below 0.05 was considered significant. Upon evaluating the data,the difference between the male and female interorbital and bizygomatic distanceswas not found significant (p>0,05).When the biorbital distanceswere taken into account, the biorbital distances of male skulls were found tobe significantly higher compared to those of female skulls (p<0,05). No significant relationship was found when the analysesof the correlation between interorbital and biorbitaland bizygomatic distances wereexamined. In ourstudy, the bizigotic distances in the skulls belonging to male individuals arelonger than the skulls of female individuals. This shows that the lateralprotrusions of the male's skull are more prominent. This is an importantcriterion for gender discrimination. CR - [1]. Bekmez MS, Suata Alpaslan F.
