Australia

Raw data from Joseph Birdsell's 1938 survey of Australian Aborigines
 The data is from two regions (B1 and B19), see Gilligan and Bulbeck (2007)
 for a map of the regions.

datasets

Offers a solution for the unavailability of raw data in most anthropological studies by facilitating the calculations of several sexual dimorphism related analyses using the published summary statistics of metric data (mean, standard deviation and sex specific sample size) as illustrated by the works of Greene, D. L. (1989) <doi:10.1002/ajpa.1330790113> and Konigsberg, L. W. (1991) <doi:10.1002/ajpa.1330840110>.
