Variations of supraorbital bony structures in Sienese skulls.
Various non-metrical traits were examined in the supraorbital region in a series of skulls of recorded sex (147 males, 130 females), age (18-80 years) and provenance (Siena and surroundings), using a standard method of categorization and notation introduced by two of the authors in 1983. The results are discussed from a topographic-anatomical point of view in relation to trait variation and with respect to the usefulness of the method applied for population studies.
