Aims& objectives: Our study focuses on evaluation of different osteometric parameters of skull which willbe helpful for sex determination.Material and Method: Current study was conducted on 60 human skullbones & they were studied by using calipers for various osteometric measurements. Results: In our studywe observed that, skull length, interorbital breadth, biorbital breadth, maxillo-alveolar breadth, maxilloalveolarlength, bizygomatic breadth & nasion-prosthion length are the statistically significant variables &are good determinants for sex than rest of the parameters. As compared to them, cranial breadth & orbitalheight are poor parameters for sex determination. Conclusion: Human Skull bone as a whole & it’s differentmeasurements taken from anatomical landmarks & their osteometric analysis is a good determinant for sexof an individual.
