Abstract

Abstract

An attempt has been made in the present study to reconstruct stature using maxillofacial measurements among male and female Brahmins of Himachal Pradesh. Sample size comprises of 164 Brahmins (93 males and 71 females) who were measured for Facial Height (FH) and Nasal Height (NH) besides Stature (S) following the standard measurement techniques. All the subjects ranged in age from18 to 40 years. Result of the present study highlight that the stature could be reconstructed with relatively greater reliability using FH among Brahmin males and females .The results further reveal that males exhibit greater correlation with stature than the females while the error of estimate is lower among females as compared to the males. It may be mentioned here that both these maxillofacial dimensions could be used for reconstructing stature under the circumstances when only cranium is recovered from the scene of crime.
