Article Synopsis
- Heat from burning human bones affects how accurately we can estimate a person's height from their remains in forensic situations.
- This study tested three methods of stature estimation on 46 skeletons that were burned at high temperatures to see which was most accurate: Rösing's method, a shrinkage correction factor, and the chemosteometry method.
- Results showed chemosteometry provided the most precise estimates, but all methods had very low error rates, suggesting they can be reliable if it's confirmed that the bones are calcined.
