Up to the present, very few studies have been devoted to the investigation of the auricle as an object
of medical-anthropological reconstruction and identifi cation of personality. <...> The objective of our study was to
investigate intra-group, racial, secular and constitutional variability of sizes of the auricle and to establish biometrical
criteria for quantitative assessment. 284 women and 173 men of Russian nationality at the age from
20 to 25 years old were examined. <...> The program included 6 measurements of the auricle (4 supplementary
indicators were calculated) along with somatic and cephalometric characteristics (more than 30 dimensions
of the head and body). <...> Using standardized photos of the auricle, with the help of special software “Database
for auricle parameters registration”, values of 12 additional parameters were received for each person, with
9 calculated indicators based on these parameters. <...> Elements of the auricle were described using R.A. Reiss’
method: a form of the auricle was evaluated, forms of the contours of tragus and antitragus were determined,
and the type of adherence of the ear lobule to the cheek was assessed. <...> For the fi rst time in Russian anthropology,
secular changes in the auricle sizes have been analyzed. <...> For the comparison, archival materials of
the Department of Medical Forensic Identifi cation were used: namely, the results of measurement of auricle
sizes of 231 men and 100 women in Ryazan province (Vorobyov, 1901). <...> For the past 100 years an increase
in all sizes of the external ear has been observed in both sexes. <...> Literary data on general sizes of the auricle
(length and width of the ear, physiognomic index) in the representatives of three big races were analyzed and
borders of variability of these parameters were detected. <...> For sex determination based on the complex of auricle
sizes, linear equations of discriminant functions were developed (classifi cation precision 85%). <...> The following
parameters appeared to have the highest signifi cance level at sex determination: the length of cartilaginous
part <...>
