Littleton finds (at least in some cases) young women and children are the only two age/sex categories that are correlated with a particular set of archaeologically visible practices - practices that have both temporal depth (cremations beyond the Holocene), and wide spatial distribution (2007).
Yet on the Hay Plain, Littleton and Allen found males form a higher proportion of the single isolated burials, women being more frequently buried within groups. In both the Murray corridor and Hay Plain, males are more frequently identified than females however (Littleton and Allen 2007).
