Summary. Contrary to an opinion widespread among anthropologists, the symphysial face of the os pubis is a poor age indicator, for men as well as for women. The errors are not attributable to the bone itself, but to a statistical trap which the present methods of age determination have been unable to avoid. The majority of them can only be used in very particular cases and must thus never be used in palaeodemographic research. In certain age groups the average deviation that they cause may figure in decades.Résumé.
