Medical definition of osteometry: the measurement of bones; especially: anthropometric measurement of the human skeleton. Sex and age were estimated as well from pelvic observations (see Auerbach and Ruff, , and Auerbach and Ruff, , for a description of the methods employed). Dr. Benjamin Auerbach obtained all of these data during three solo research trips beginning in September and ending in July

Osteological ageing from digital data, C. Villa et al. 4 correlations were found by Chiba et al. () for some of the 10 measurements assessed on the pubic symphysis, but. ADVERTISEMENTS: Osteometry is the measurement of bones especially long bones, which facilitates in comparing the skeletons of different populations. A few special instruments are required for collection of the osteometrical measurements. The most important one is osteometric board; other instruments have been mentioned in connection to craniometry. OSTEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS Osteological analysis is concerned with the determination of the identity of a skeleton, by estimating its age, sex and stature. Robusticity and non-metric traits can provide further information on the appearance and familial affinities of the individual studied.
