Assessing the use of the anatomical method for the estimation of sub-adult stature in Black South Africans
( Elsevier , 2018 , Article)Stature estimation is rarely attempted in sub-adults due to the general lack of available standards as a result of the dearth of sufficiently large sub-adult skeletal collections with known demographic information. To ... -
A comparison of the direct and indirect methods of estimating skeletal height from tibial fragments in black South Africans.
( E Schweizerbart Science Publishers , 2020 , Article)The estimation of maximum bone length from its fragments is important in forensic anthropology as these length estimates can be used to estimate the total skeletal height (TSH), and thereby stature, of unknown skeletal ... -
