Lesedi Ilium Landmark Dataset_R1.csv = A comma separated values (.csv) format file containing 148 3D landmarks describing shape of the right ilium, for 23 immature humans, Australopithecus fossils MLD 7 and MLD 25, and two reconstructions of the Homo naledi fossil U.W. 102a-138. The first naledi reconstruction utilizes a reference template based on MLD 7 and MLD 25, and the second reconstruction is based on the average of the human ilia. The .csv file contains columns for individual ID, landmark name, and the x-, y-, and z-coordinates of the landmark, and each row is a unique landmark coordinate.

Lesedi_Ilium_Height_Data.csv = A comma separated values (.csv) format file containing developmental stage and iliac height (in mm) for 43 humans, U.W. 102a-138, and three Australopithecus fossils (MLD 7, MLD 25, and the left and right sides of Sts 14).
