This study is based on the premise that marriage patterns determine the composition of the adult segment of hunter-gatherer groups, and that the composition is reflected in the expression of osteological traits within and between sexes. Analysis of metric and non-metric traits in adult skeletons from Locus II of the Port au Choix3 site suggest the practice of exogamy coupled with a virilocal post-nuptial marriage pattern.

Over 1,400 individual skeletons from three major skeletal populations were examined for a series of approximately fifty infracranial non-metric traits. Trait frequencies are studied for size, sex and age differences, trait intercorrelations, and association with bone robusticity. Skeletal population studies are performed using various combinations of the traits and two distance statistics.
