Abstract :

Forensic and archeological studies, may need identification of human skeletal remains. Among these remains, hip bone presents morphological differences between the two sexes because of its special adaptation in female, for child be� . This study was carried out to determine if indices in the greater sciatic notch of hip bone can be used in sexing of the hip bone in Jharkhand population . In our study .Mean value of eadth was found as 4.12�0.52 in male while in female it was 4.34�0.41. Mean depth of the sciatic notch was found as 3.44�0.48 in male and 2.61�0.44 in female. So the sciatic notch was found to be deeper in male as compared to female. Mean value of sciatic notch index was found to be 84.49�12.98 in male while in female the mean index was 61.22� 14.79 which showed higher value of Index in case of male as compared to female
