A cephalometric study.

Abstract

Multivariate analysis of the craniofacial skeleton from subjects with Angle's four occlusal categories showed a similar pattern but with varying degrees of separation depending upon which parameters were included in the analysis. Generally it appeared that the maxillary jaw and mandibular arch parameters contributed most to the discrimination to the four categories of subjects examined in this study.

Further studies of crania from ancient northern Africa: an analysis of crania from first dynasty Egyptian tombs, using discriminant functions.

An analysis of First Dynasty crania from Abydos was undertaken using multiple discriminant functions. The results demonstrate greater affinity with Upper Nile Valley patterns, but also suggest change from earlier craniometric trends. Gene flow and movement of northern officials to the important southern city may explain the findings.
