In cases where one has a nearly complete skeleton, Fully’ s anatomical method (8 , 21 ) is preferable to the mathematical method for estimating living stature from skcletal remain s (12, 20, 22). Altempting to provide a precise estimate of living stature from incomplete long bones is fra ıı ght with hazards. Even Sleele’ s (24) equations, when they can be used , provide very wide estimates when used in conjunction with Trotter and Cleser s formulae . This reduces considerably the effectiveness of utilizing stature as a sorting tool.}, number={1}
