Abstract

Stature reconstruction is important as it provides a forensic anthropological estimate of the height of a person in the living state; playing a vital role in the identification of individuals from their skeletal remains. Regression formulae for stature estimation have been generated for indigenous South Africans based on measurements of long bones of upper and lower extremities and the calcaneus. Since these bones are not always available for forensic analysis, it became necessary to use other bones such as the skull for stature estimation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the usefulness of certain measurements of the skull of indigenous South Africans in the estimation of adult stature. Ninety-nine complete skeletons obtained from the Raymond A. Dart Collection, School of Anatomical Sciences of the University of the Witwatersrand, were used. Total skeletal height (TSH) was calculated for each skeleton using the Fully's (anatomical) method. Furthermore, six variables were measured on each skull. TSH was regressed onto these cranial measurements in order to obtain regression formulae. The correlation coefficients obtained ranged between 0.40 and 0.54. The range of the standard errors of estimate from the current study (4.37 and 6.24) is high in comparison to that obtained for stature estimation based on intact long bones and the calcaneus. Therefore, the equations presented in this study should be used with caution in forensic cases when only the skull is available for human identification.

摘要

身高重建很重要,因为它能提供法医人类学对一个人生前身高的估计;在通过骨骼遗骸识别个体方面发挥着至关重要的作用。基于对南非原住民上下肢长骨和跟骨的测量,已经得出了身高估计的回归公式。由于这些骨头在法医分析中并非总是可用,因此有必要使用其他骨头,如头骨来估计身高。本研究的目的是调查南非原住民头骨的某些测量值在估计成人身高方面的有用性。使用了从威特沃特斯兰德大学解剖科学学院的雷蒙德·A·达特藏品中获得的99具完整骨骼。使用富利(解剖学)方法为每具骨骼计算了总骨骼高度(TSH)。此外,对每个头骨测量了六个变量。将TSH与这些颅骨测量值进行回归分析以获得回归公式。得到的相关系数在0.40至0.54之间。与基于完整长骨和跟骨的身高估计相比,本研究获得的估计标准误差范围(4.37和6.24)较高。因此,在法医案件中,当仅头骨可用于身份识别时,本研究中给出的方程应谨慎使用。
