CATALOGUE OF HUMAN CRANIA— HRDLICKA

SUMMARY OF RESULTS AND INDICATIONS 



The main results and indications of the data here given are as 

 follows : 



1. The Pueblos are not one homogeneous group. They differ in 

 head form and in other respects. There are two distinct strains in 

 them, with intermediary elements. 



2. The undeformed skulls show on one hand a substantial doli- 

 choid and on the other a fairly strong brachycranic group, with some 

 intermediate units. 



3. The predominant dolichoid group comprised the southern Utah 

 cave dwellers, the majority of the old Zuni (Havikuh), the Salt River 

 people, and elements among the Rio Grande as well as other Pueblos; 

 the less numerous brachycranics were the Puye in New Mexico, the 

 Hopi in Arizona, and some others. The best defined intermediates 

 were the majority of the T^was of the Jemez region. In many of the 

 old Pueblos the prevalent type of the skull is difficult to ascertain 

 due to the frequency and extent of deformations. 



4. The geographical distribution of the dolichoid and the brachy- 

 cranic elements was irregular and there was evidently considerable 

 interpenetration. 



5. The Puye group on morphological grounds stands distinctly 



apart from the rest of the Tewa and can not be inherently associated 



with the latter.

6. The Grand Gulch (southern Utah) cave dwellers or "basket 

 makers," are a reinarkably uniform lot. Barring a small percentage 

 of deformed skulls the series shows but one and the same type, sub- 

 divisions of which are not possible. There is no indication in either 

 this or the available Pueblo material of anything that would cor- 

 respond physically to the lately adopted multiple archeological 

 subdivisions relating to the same groups. 



7. The southern Utah basket maker crania are practically identical 

 with the apparently intrusive skulls of the T4wa region; and are
