Forensic anthropology can play an important role in the identification process. Besides determination of race, sex and age of the unknown individual, estimation of stature enhances the reliability of identification. It is easier to get those data when the whole body or the entire skeleton is available to the forensic anthropologist. However in cases of deliberate mutilation and disposal in parts, interference by wild animal and bomb blast by terrorist attack, recovery of the whole body or complete skeleton may not be possible. In those cases, in the forensic anthropologists have to give this opinion based upon the available supplied skeleton remains. Although approximate stature of the individual can be estimated from most of the long bones using either multiplication factors or regression formulae, studies on estimation of stature from clavicle are limited. In the past, Terry, Oliver and Thieeme have tried to estimate the stature of the individual from clavicle. So the present study is planned to determine the stature from clavicle.
