Popis:	Humeral cortical thickness is a simple and convenient method of assessing the bone mineralisation status of anthropological remains. The present study was devised to assess the comparative values of indices originally devised for other bones. The smoothest curve in response to increasing age was seen with the CCT, and this value also showed a relatively narrow range in young subjects. As none of the indices were found to have an advantage over the CCT in assessing age changes, we recommend measurement of the humeral CCT for assessment of bone mineralization status of anthropological remains.
