Cranial and mandibular discrete traits and cranial metric traits were collected from 99-125 individuals in eight terminal Late Archaic sites. The analysis of ten metric traits in six samples showed that the samples shared the same generalized variance and that sexual dimorphism in the means of the metric traits was greater than inter-site differences. Since these samples share the same size and shape expression of a complex set of polygenic traits, we hypothesize a historical relationship among these samples. Discrete trait analysis showed a pattern of differentiation among the eight samples. This pattern of differentiation is related directly to the geographical separation between samples, and, as with metric traits, cultural differences do not contribute to the pattern of biological differences. The overall pattern of osteological variation in these samples can be summarized parsimoniously by paraphrasing the first law of geography: All of the terminal Late Archaic populations of Ohio were related to each other, but closer ones were more related than distant ones.
在八个晚期古代遗址的终端，从99至125名个体中收集了颅骨和下颌离散性状以及颅骨测量性状。对六个样本中十个测量性状的分析表明，这些样本具有相同的广义方差，并且测量性状均值中的性别二态性大于遗址间差异。由于这些样本共享一组复杂多基因性状的相同大小和形状表达，我们推测这些样本之间存在历史关系。离散性状分析显示了八个样本之间的分化模式。这种分化模式直接与样本之间的地理分隔有关，并且与测量性状一样，文化差异对生物差异模式没有贡献。通过套用地理学第一定律，可以简洁地概括这些样本中骨骼变异的总体模式：俄亥俄州所有晚期古代终端人群都相互关联，但距离较近的人群比距离较远的人群关系更密切。
