Os Calcis 
Being the largest bone of the tarsus, and the most important 
functionally, the os calcis, or calcaneus, seems to deserve closer 
attention by anthropologists than it usually receives. 
The bone presents three different and fairly easily ascertainable 
dimensions: (1) the greatest length of the whole bone; (2) the 
minimum breadth or thickness of the body; and (3) the height of 
the body at its greatest constriction. It further offers several inter- 
esting points for visual observation. 
The total number of calcanei in the Munsee material is 51, which 
gives a fair male and female series. The following table shows the 
measurements on 40 of those that are paired and hence most suit- 
able for comparison.
