They can project her body type (slender, delicate or stocky and robust) by the size of her bones, although I would quibble about calling a 5’4” female an “Amazon”. I suppose that depends on the size of the male skeletons of the time.

The average height for men in England circa 1300 was about 5’4”. Scottish folk are generally taller, so the men could have been 5’8” (they ate a lot of mutton).
