Abstract: The estimation of stature from fragmentary long bones plays an important part in human identification for forensic anthropologists. But until now we have not seen scientific report on the esti- mation of stature for Chinese Han female from fragmentary long bones. This paper reports some regres- sion equations of the estimation of stature of Chinese Han female from fragmentary long bones. The sample consists of 69 Chinese Han female long bones from autopsy room, Department of ForensicMed- icine, Institute of Forensic Sciences, Beijing. The age range of the sample is 19 to 66 years. The items of measurements are listed in Chinese text of this paper with English translation. The regression equations for stature estimation were made from the fragmentary long bones with SPSS package and were used for the stature estimation of Chinese Han female from fragmentary long bones. The results of stat- ure estimation from the fragmentary of humerus, femus, and tibia were better than the others.
