Abstrakt: Age determination at death by skeletal remains is a difficult problem. Determination of age by morphological changes in pubic symphysis is the best indicator for age beyond 25 years. The present study used three morphological indicators of McKern and Stewart's method, viz: dorsal plateau, ventral rampart and symphyseal rim. Samples were draw from 32 male individuals. The results were compared with the McKern and Stewart's study. The similariets and differences among the study were discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
