Abstract

Besides determination of race, sex, age of the unknown individual, estimation of stature enhances the reliability of identification process. It is easier to get those data when the whole body or entire skeleton is available to the forensic anthropologist. However, in cases of deliberate mutilation and disposal in parts, interference by wild animals, bomb blast by terrorist attack, recovery of the whole body or complete skeleton may not be possible. In those cases, the forensic anthropologists have to give his opinion on the available supplied material. Although approximate stature of the individual can be estimated from most of the long bones using either multiplication factors or regression formulae, only few have taken attempt to correlate stature with length of clavicle. 

Keywords: Stature; Long bones; Clavicle; Estimation; Correlation.
