Tracing error with Björk's mandibular structures.

Abstract

The tracing errors associated with the structures used in Björk's method of mandibular superimposition are investigated using multiple tracings of fifty lateral cephalometric radiographs. The horizontal error levels were much less than the vertical, midline structures more reliable than bilateral structures, and the lower third molar tooth germ more reliable than the inferior dental canal.

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.
