Abstract:
215 skulls taken from graves of the 4th to 12th century in southern Germany were cephalometrically evaluated. The correlations of the parameters S-N, PM-SN and PM-ANS were used to develop new formulas for calculating the body height, needing only parts of the skull. Compared with other methods based on the length of bones of the extremities very similar results were obtained.
