PRODUCT CODE: OSS-1021
An Osteometric Board is a precision measuring instrument used in anthropology, forensic science, and archaeology to measure the length and dimensions of skeletal remains, particularly long bones like the femur and tibia. It consists of a flat, graduated base (often in centimeters or inches) with one fixed upright and one sliding vertical arm to ensure high-precision data collection for stature and sex estimation.
•Structure: Typically made of stainless steel (durable, easy to clean) or wood, featuring a calibrated scale, a fixed vertical end, and a movable, sliding cursor.
•Applications: Measures long bones, skull, and other skeletal elements, aiding in estimating sex, age, stature, and ancestry.
•Measurement Process: The proximal end of the bone is placed against the fixed upright, while the sliding arm is adjusted to touch the distal end, ensuring maximum length measurement.
•Versatility: Used in laboratory and field settings (forensic autopsies) to obtain accurate, reproducible data.
•Wooden: Traditional, stable option.
