    Sorry I don't have the German macro with this. Any help would be appreciated.
    It says:

    The physical hights of our ancestors can be calculated by the length of the bones of the extremeties. This follows that the Alemann men had an average hights of 1.72 m, while women were smaller by 10 cms. So, they had been much taller than the men and women of the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern times. According to the length of the scull also the tallness shows a North-South fall, while the high values in the North go along with a high degree of Germanization. But the average values only differ a bit from each other. Of course, there had been tall and small people everywhere. In the NW-German Elgg alone, the tallness of men differs from 1.56 m to 1.82 m. For diachronical comparison we only have little date from the early periode of the Alemanns, e.g. from Hilzingen, Ilvesheim and Opfingen. The values are at least for men above the average. From the beginning of the 6th up to the end of the 7th Century men seemed to have been smaller, (but) becoming taller in the 8th Century. The question remains, inhowfar the contact with the Romanized and Frankish population affected the genetic pool.
