Introduction: when we relate anatomical characteristics of the human skeleton with the determination of the individual's biological profile, we commonly study the bony segments of the head and pelvis. However, in many forensic cases, these two segments are either not found or damaged, making it necessary to know and study other bony parts. The human clavicle is considered relatively resistant to taphonomic factors, being of extreme importance when it comes to archeology and forensic science. The present research aims to assist forensic professionals, anthropologists, and anatomists in the identification of individuals through analysis of the morphometric dimensions of clavicles, verifying their reliability as a tool to gender identification, as well as providing additional data for the possible construction of tables that correspond to the ethnicities of the Brazilian population. To reach the proposed objective, we used 102 pairs of clavicles, among which 37 pairs were of female and 65 of male subjects, all originated from the Human Bone Collection of the anatomy laboratory of Universidade Federal de Pernambuco. Six measurements were performed: maximum length, circumference of the diaphysis, height and width of acromial end, and height and width of sternal end. A morphological measurement called impression for costoclavicular ligament, also known as rhomboid fossa, was also observed.
