P.S.: Here you are. (http://www.hermitagemuseum.org/html_En/03/hm3_2_7e.html)

As for the height, I must disappoint you, as the only measurements that I can find right now are for some of the burials of the Arzhan 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arzhan) kurgan (7th century BC); this book (http://www.amazon.de/Zeichen-goldenen-Greifen-Wilfried-Menghin/dp/3791338552/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1241541564&sr=8-1) (p. 86 ff.) gives the heights of two men as about 170 and 171 cm and that of two women as 161 and 162 cm. Apparently, no heights are given for the bodies of the 4th and 3rd century Pazyryk burials, but I do remember that the aforementioned archeologist claimed the woman whose closing we saw in the exhibition had been "almost 2 meters tall".
