Abstract
Determining the sex, age, height, and race of the subject is the initial phase in the identification of bone remains, as a background, it allows to build a biological profile of an individual, which is the first step for identification when it is not possible to use conventional methods based on fingerprints or identification guided by the recognition of features and/or clothing. The aim of this study was to evaluate Carrea’s method for determining height from the dimensions of temporal maxillary pieces and, in a second step, to propose a mathematical method. A regression equation was determined to allow the correct estimation of height in 58, 3% of the cases with ±5cm and in 98.2% with ±10cm, which is a practical tool for estimating height that must be supported by other methods.
