    Abstract:
    A scientific historical review of the procedures of stature estimation according to skeleton finds including a collection of important tables and formulae replacing the troublesome looking for formulae and tables in the scattered publications was still missing. In the 1st part, a collection of estimations published since the middle of the 18th century to the middle of the 20th century is therefore presented. In this part, a collection important procedures of stature estimation published since the middle of our century is given. The presentation follows the chronological succession. A short description of all mentioned base populations is included in the text. A thorough critical anthropological and statistical analysis of base populations and estimations was not intended, because this should be the topic of a separate research.
