La scaphocéphalie chez les Noirs. Une variété de déformation pathologique de la tête (en anglais)
Des figurations de crânes et de têtes vues sur le vivant, sont représentées pour montrer que les sujets africains de race noire qui développent une scaphocéphalie dans la péride péri-natale (déformation maximale) ont une tête allongée dont la forme diffère de celle d'individus d'autres provenances présentant une affection similaire. En vue latérale, la forme ressemble généralement à une selle, avec une dépression entre les éminences frontale et p…

Helmut de Terra, 1900-1981
When Helmut de Terra went on his first geological field trip in 1927-28, he literally got to the top of the world-the Himalayan area of East Asiaand there, in addition to engaging in geological pursuits, he investigated two caves containing evidence of early human occupancy. Thereafter, he was seldom willing to settle down for any extended period of time or to give up combining archaeology with geology. Over the next couple of decades he both pro…

The evolutionary status of the first Americans
The physical nature of the first men to enter the New World from Asia has long been a matter of dispute. Changes in the conventional wisdom on this subject since 1930 are reviewed. Hrdlička's opinion provides the base line. Certain important developments since his death are outlined. Although there is good reason now to believe that only Homo sapiens existed in eastern Asia at the time, it is still not certainly established. Actual proof in the f…

Cranial dysraphism mistaken for trephination
Attention is called to a disputed diagnosis of trephination reported for a perforated skull of a prehistoric New England Indian. The perforation, surrounded by a saucer‐like depression, is located exactly in the midline just in front of bregma. The finding of a similar lesion in a prehistoric Indian skull from the North Coast of Peru — where, as in New England, good evidence of the practice of trephination is lacking — provides support for a more…
The Growth of American Physical Anthropology between 1925 and 1975
was Aleg HrdWli~a. As his assistant, the writer was in an advantageous position to follow Hrdli2ka's maneuvers to gain support for his American Journal of Physical Anthropology, the most important of which was the founding of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists (1930). The subsequent founding of the Viking Fund (1941) and of the National Science Foundation (1950) gave additional impetus to the movement. A graph showing the yearly…

Personal identification in mass disasters
It is the established policy of the American government to see that all deceased American military personnel are identified as far as possible. As will appear in the course of this report, the efforts of the Army, through its responsible representatives, to identify the deceased servicemen from World War II and the Korean War have led to notable improvements in the techniques of personal identification used today, not only by the Army itself but …

Lesions of the frontal bone in American Indians
Over 1,400 adult skulls from archeological sites along the Atlantic Seaboard, in the Midwest and in the Southwest were examined for frontal lesions. A late prehistoric site in Delaware yielded the highest frequency. Next was a late prehistoric site in Illinois, but here the high frequency may reflect in part the collector's special interest in bone pathology. By contrast, the historic and early prehistoric sites yielded the lowest frequencies. Li…
The effects of pathology on skeletal populations
The effects of pathology on skeletal populations are indirect as well as direct. A review of the histories of four collections in the National Museum shows that the indirect effects come about largely because collectors sometimes select the skeletons to be saved. If selection is on the basis of state of preservation, it can be against pathological specimens since lesions sometimes weaken the bones and hasten their deterioration. If selection is o…

The African custom of tooth mutilation in America
A broad historical sketch of tooth mutilation stresses the role of Negro slaves in introducing the African custom into America, and the possibility of filling in gaps in our knowledge along this line from recovered skeletal remains. As an example of what can be learned, a skeleton found recently in Grenada, West Indies, is described as that of a male Negro, with a West African type of dental mutilation. The individual represented is shown to have…

An Ossuary near Piscataway Creek with A Report on the Skeletal Remains
The ossuary described in this paper is believed to be at or near the site of Piscataway Fort. Piscataway Fort is of historic interest for it was there, in 1634, that Calvert obtained permission from the 'Emperor of the Piscataways' to begin the actual settlement of Maryland.It is thought that until 1623 the principal town of the Piscataways was at Moyaone on the Potomac just below the mouth of Piscataway Creek. In 1623 Governor Wyatt of Virginia …
