Abstract :

Various diameter of head of femur have been used for comparative study in different region. Therefore we under took the study of head of femur in population of Western Uttar Pradesh .The present study addresses the question of estimating ancestry and comparative study in forensic and archaeological investigation of skeletal remain using measurement from head of femur.
