Determination of the Paleolithic reindeer sex applying the K-means algorithm to frontal bones with pedicles

The article presents the application of K-means clustering algorithm to sorting female and male pedicles of reindeer Rangifer tarandus from the Paleolithic site of Cosăuţi from Soroca District the Republic of Moldova. According to the obtained results, 29.8% of frontal bones with pedicles belong to...
