Body mass can be estimated from measures of skeletal frame size (stature and bi-iliac (maximum pelvic) breadth) fairly accurately in modern human populations. However, it is not clear whether such a technique will lead to systematic biases in body mass estimation when applied to earlier hominins. He
The present study presents a method for predicting triggerยฎsh body size (standard length and body mass) from bones recovered from archaeological sites. Regression equations were calculated from 42 fresh triggerยฎsh. The following seven measurements were used as best predictors for body size based on
Child body weight formulae are developed from two radiographic studies that have measured the mid-diaphyses anteroposterior diameters of the humerus, femur and tibia. The results show that formulae that include a stature component are more reliable than those derived only from bone diameters and tha
