AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document is an analysis of the skeletal remains from an early Sumerian grave site at Eridu, Iraq. Because of the badly crushed condition of the crania which were to be measured, statistical comparisons with other series seem specious, at best.
