Multivariate analysis is used to examine intrasite variation in cranial morphology in the Mobridge Arikara skeletal collection. The site included three spatially distinct burial areas. The burial areas (features) are defined according to geographic location. Feature 1 is a small hill west of the village. Feature 2 is a large, long hill 200-300 yards south of the village. Feature 3 is a small knoll 100 yards south of Feature 1. The internal chronology of Mobridge has not been established with precision, but order has been postulated based on archeological data. Previous researchers have considered area 2 to be later than areas 1 and 3. Significant morphological heterogeneity exists between areas. Sample differences indicate that specific features were used by temporally distinct populations. The archaeologically proposed temporal ordering of the cemeteries is supported by osteological evidence.
多变量分析用于研究莫布里奇阿里卡拉骨骼收藏中颅骨形态的遗址内变异。该遗址包括三个空间上不同的埋葬区域。埋葬区域（特征）根据地理位置定义。特征1是村庄以西的一座小山。特征2是村庄以南200 - 300码处的一座又大又长的山丘。特征3是特征1以南100码处的一个小土丘。莫布里奇的内部年代顺序尚未精确确定，但已根据考古数据推测出顺序。先前的研究人员认为区域2晚于区域1和区域3。各区域之间存在显著的形态异质性。样本差异表明不同时期的人群使用了特定的特征。考古学上提出的墓地时间顺序得到了骨骼学证据的支持。
