Comparative analysis of stature estimation formulas in human remains of Southern Patagonia. First results

Human stature in archaeological remains is an important indicator of general health in past human population. Anatomical and mathematical methods were proposed to reconstruction of stature. The anatomical method is considered more accurate although its use is limited by the high skeletal completenes...

description Human stature in archaeological remains is an important indicator of general health in past human population. Anatomical and mathematical methods were proposed to reconstruction of stature. The anatomical method is considered more accurate although its use is limited by the high skeletal completeness required. The mathematical approach uses regression equations that require the length of one or more long bones, but high variation in the relationship between real height and the segments used to estimate it has been detected. There are no specific formulas for stature estimation from skeletal remains of Southern Patagonia. The objective of this work is to identify which mathematical formulas predict height more accurately in relation to the estimates of the anatomical method. Results show that most of the mathematical formulas are very similar to the results obtained from the anatomical formula. For both sexes, the formulas with the highest coefficients of determination are grouped according to the required bone. The most exact stature formulas correspond mainly to those that use the femur.
