This paper describes research on stature estimation of a sample of human bones, unearthed at the Taohuayuan cemetery in Ji County, Tianjin, from 2004 to 2005. Approximately 171 human bone pieces were studied (97 male fragments, 74 female fragments ). Using regression formulae we determined that the average male stature was 167.19 cm, which is between stature of ancient males of northern China and that of contemporary males. The average stature of females was 152.89 cm, which is shorter than ancient females of northern China and contemporary females.
