摘要:
This series of about 950 London crania is distinguished from all other known British series, except the 14th and 15th century Kentish crania from Hythe, by small size of calvaria, high cephalic, height-length and nasal indices and low orbital index; it resembles Pompeian, Etruscan, Parisian, Finnish and Viennese series. There is no historical or archeological evidence on date of interment, but this was probably medieval or Roman. One skull shows an advanced stage of syphilis. Individual measurements and type contours are given.
