Abstract: Observation of 130 female pubic bones has shown that among the 79 women who have not given any birth, 6 cases are found to have small or large pitting; of the rest 51 women who have gives child birth, 33 cases are seen to have no pitting on their pubes. The incidence of pubis pitting in women who died more than 15 years after giving their last birth is 2 times higher than in those who died less than 15 years after giving their last birth. The observation of all the specimens shows that among the pubes of the women aged below 25 the pitting cannot be seen and therefore it is clear that the appearence of the pitting of the pubis is concerned with age.

Key words: Dorsal pitting; Parturition; Pubis
