AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The authors used craniometric data (39 variables) for a discriminant analysis of the internments at Shijia cemetery in order to understand whether individuals in the multiple internments were more closely related to each other biologically than they were to internments in other graves, what post-marital residence patterns might have been, and gender status.
