An analysis of crania from Tell‐Duweir using multiple discriminant functions

Abstract: Historical and archaelogical evidence suggests that the Iron Age biblical city of Lachish had a multinational population of diverse geographical origins. A multivariate analysis of crania, using canonical discriminant functions and metric variables, tends to confirm this. The approach employed stresses that population discriminant analysis studies should be both biologically and statistically legitimate. An ecological interpretation of the data suggests a research design for analyzing the affinities of cranial… Show more

“…Thirteen metric variables with a demonstrated genetic basis by heritability or other studies and that cover all craniofacial embryological regions (Keita, 1988) are employed in the core analysis (Table 1). Tenand seven-variable subset designs are also evaluated.…”

“…Keita (1988) lists 13 craniofacial components with significant heritability that are useful in population affinity assessment. Sufficient data for nine of these measurements (Maximum Cranial Length, Maxi ranial Breadth, Basio-Bregma Height, Bizygomatic Breadth, Upper Facial Height, Minimum Frontal Breadth, Minimum Frontal Breadth, Nasal Height, Nasal Breadth) were recorded for females of ten other Harappan females.…”
