Bernert, Zs.: Data for the calculation of body height on the basis of extremities of individuals living in different historical periods in the Carpathian Basin

Fig. 4. Distribution of male bones from the Carpathian Basin according to length very short short short- medium tall- tall very tall medium medium Fig. 5. Distribution of stature values estimated on the basis of male femurs from the Carpathian Basin according to MARTIN Thus, it is reasonable to harmonise categories and stature estimation methods because by doing that, we can identify the differences of the body height distribution of the examined series compared to the theoretical distribution. Based on the largest length data of male and female femurs in the database above, the application of height estimation formulas already mentioned will result in the following categories if the borders of categories are set at deviation values 1, 2 and 3 (Tables 7-8).
