Online published on 27 November, 2019. Abstract Stature determination and identification of gender play a important role in establishing the identity of a dead person. The forensic specialist is often required to undertake these exercises for effective identification. The present study was conducted to ascertain the viability of a post cranial measurement, Biacromial breadth (BAB) in determining gender and estimating stature. The study revealed that though BAB can be used a effective and significant marker for stature and gender determination, its efficacy in the selected population was not as significant as long bones.
