## Abstract Problems recently discovered in the Kerley method of estimating age at death from cortical microstructure are discussed. Kerley's original data have been reβanalyzed to produce new regression equations and to document the original field size.
Ahlqvist and Damsten's (1969) modification of the Kerley (1965) method for histological age estimation uses percent osteonal bone, rather than actual osteon counts, in order to eliminate the difficulty of distinguishing between intact and fragmentary osteons. Since their method has been developed fo
