How to Estimate Height
• Femur (American Caucasian male)
2.32 X femur(cm) + 65.53 (cm) = height
Convert cm to inches (2.54 cm = 1 inch)
Ex.
2.32 X 50 (cm) + 65.53 = 181.53cm Height
181.53 cm / 2.54 = 71.47in
71.47 inches / 12 (inches in a ft) = 5.95
How to Estimate Height
• 3.36(humerus) + 71.48 = height +/- 4.43 cm
• Height/2.54 = height in inches
How to Distinguish Race
• Is ______ ________ because of ___________.
• ___________ have been _____________.
• Some distinguishing characteristics:
– Shape of eye _______.
– _________ or ________ of __________________.
– Nasal index (measurement)
– _____________________ (projection of the upper
jaw, maxilla beyond the lower jaw).
Facial Reconstruction
• Exact _______ and ______ of bones will vary
from person to person.
• Shape & Size of _______, tissues that lay on
top of them will as well.
Facial Reconstruction
• A face is formed by the skull with the muscles and
tissues on top of the skull.
• Theoretically, nonetheless, a face can be _______ from
just skeletal remains.
• _________________ are positioned at __________
locations on a skull, and _______ is contoured to follow
the height of the markers.
• Today, ____________ ___________ perform a similar
function.
• These computer programs also can ______ missing
persons and criminals.
