Cranial deformation and nonmetric trait variation.

American journal of physical anthropology - 1 Jan 1993

Konigsberg L W, Kohn L A, Cheverud J M

Abstract excerpt

Cranial deformation is known to influence many traditional craniometric variables, but its effects on nonmetric trait variation are not well characterized. In this study, we examine the effects of three types of deformation (annular, lambdoid flattening, and fronto-occipital) on nonmetric traits, using a large sample of protohistoric and prehistoric crania. Our results indicate that a few traits are increased or...
