dc.description.abstractBackground: The use of coxal elements for age & sex identification is primary and most widespread way of bringing us closer to the identity of dead individuals in archaeological & certain forensic scenarios. It is well known that there is metric & morphologic variation in expression of sexual dimorphism between racial phenotypes and populations. Therefore, the purpose of present research is to assess metric differences in the pubo-ischial region of hip bones amongst North Indian Population. Material & Methods: Material for the current investigation comprised of 100 hip bones [(M: F=80:20) & (R: L=50:50)] obtained from Department of Anatomy, Government Medical College, Amritsar, Punjab, India. Pubic Length & ischial length were measured and Pubo-ischial index was calculated. All the data thus obtained was compiled, tabulated and statistically analyzed. Results: All the three parameters showed statistically significant sex differences. Ischium was longer in males, pubis in females & pubo-ischial index was also more in females. Conclusion: These variables can be used to determine sex from human hip bone or its fragments.en_US
