METHOD FOR AGING UNKNOWN DEAD BODY Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B5/107 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: aging an unknown dead body is ensured by length, frontal cut sawing and cleansing of a shoulder bone. Besides, a cut surface is polished, died and imprinted on a paper. The prepared imprint is used to measure a line of anatomical neck of humerus, a derived value is plotted along the bone from its upper point to find the level of surgical neck and brought along the bone. Further, a total width of the bone, as well as a thickness of right and left bone walls are measured, and their mean arithmetic thickness is derived. A morphometric coefficient is determined by the ratio of the bone width to the mean arithmetic wall thickness by formula: MC=TW/(RW+LW):2, wherein MC is the morphometric coefficient; TW is the total width; RW is the width of the right bone wall; LW is the width of the left bone wall. If MC is 8.0-12.0, the age is specified as 20-29 years old. If MC is 12.1-18, the age is specified as 30-39 years old. If MC is 18.1-22.0, the age is specified as 40-49 years old. MC making 22.1 and more shows the age of 50 years old and more.

EFFECT: method enables aging the unknown dead body objectively.
