摘要:
On the basis of the Coefficient of Racial Likeness the skulls are more closely related to the English Bronze Age and Hythe skulls than to the Anglo-Saxon and are still closer to Etruscan skulls. Archeological evidence suggests the 5th or 6th century A.D. for the date of the burials. A broad-headed element derived largely from the Bronze Age people may have persisted in the locality or the population may have descended from a Roman colony with a large Central European element. The mandibles resemble those of the Anglo-Saxons more than those of the 17th Century Londoners. Mandibular measurements for the English Bronze Age and Hythe crania are lacking.
