Cephalometric radiographs were taken of 111 skulls of skeletal remains of populations living in Israel and Jordan during the last 12,000 years. From these radiographs, skull length and height, and cranial thickness were measured. For each sex and period, high correlations were found between cranial thickness at vertex, bregma, and lambda. Cranial thickness at nasion was correlated with sinus width but not sinus height. All measurements were correlated with skull length but not skull breadth. Using multivariate analysis, no significant differences in cranial thickness were found between the sexes. Significant diachronic trends were found in lambda and sinus width, and they were independent of variation in skull length.
对头骨遗骸的头影测量X线片进行了拍摄，这些遗骸来自过去12000年生活在以色列和约旦的人群，共111个颅骨。从这些X线片上，测量了颅骨的长度和高度以及颅骨厚度。对于每个性别和时期，发现头顶、前囟和人字点处的颅骨厚度之间存在高度相关性。鼻根处的颅骨厚度与鼻窦宽度相关，但与鼻窦高度无关。所有测量值均与颅骨长度相关，但与颅骨宽度无关。使用多变量分析，未发现两性之间颅骨厚度有显著差异。在人字点和鼻窦宽度方面发现了显著的历时性趋势，且它们与颅骨长度的变化无关。
