Pap, I.: Data to the problem of artificial cranial deformation, Part 1.
\ this paper, considering 6 children, 1 juvenile and 7 grown-ups (3 male, 4 female). Among them 1 male, 1 female and 1 child skull were non-deformed. In the course of the study I identified s e x on the basis of anatomical characters of the cranium and the skeleton. In the case of children 1 have determined age by investigating the eruption of deciduous and permanent teeth and by measuring the long bones. In establishing the grown-ups' age I have taken into consideration the ossification os sutures, the epiphyses and the surface changing of the facies symphyseos ossis pubis (FEREMBACH & al. 1980). I have followed the MARTiN-technique (1928) for the cranial measurements, in the examination of facial flatness I have used the method of DEBETS & TÓTH (in FARKAS 1972). I have classified the measurements and indices according to ALEXEYEV & DEBETS (1964). For measuring the long bones I have followed the ALEXEYEV-method (1966). I have calculated stature and weight after DEBETS & DUERNOVO (1971). Anthropological and pathological analysis Parameters of the skulls are presented in Table 2, the data of facial flatness are given in Table 3. Parameters of the long bones may be found in Table 4. Grave 1 — Grown-up (maturus) female deformed skull with mandible. Face incomplete. Forehead slantwise running back as a result of deformation. A mild dip behind tubera frontalia and sutura coronalis. Occipital region because of the strong occipital pressure flat, straight. Incomplete postcranial skeleton. Exostoses on the dorsal vertebrae. Grave 2 — Deformed skull fragment of about 2 year-old child. Cribra orbitalia on the right orbit (left orbit missing). Sutura metopica, os apicis. Fragmentary skeletal bones. Grave 3 — Deformed calotte of 2-5 year-old child, with maxilla part and incomplete mandible. A dip caused by distorting bandage behind tubera frontalia and sutura coronalis. Cribra orbitalia both of sides. Osteoporosis on plate. Incomplete skeletal bone fragments. Grave 4 — Well-preserved deformed grown-up (maturus) female skull with mandible (Plate 1:1). Tubera frontalia cannot be seen in consequence of deformation. Forehad slantwise running back. A slight dip after and behind tuberculum prebregmaticum (Plate 1:2). Obelion region flat, trace of distortion cannot be seen on nuchal region. Right capitulum mandibulae deformed because of arthrosis deformans. Right fossa mandibularis also deformed, its shize grown but less deep. Exostosis its edge. Well-preserved skeletal bones. Arthrosis deformans on tuberositas sacralis, facies articulares and on tuberositas iliaca. Arthrosis deformans on region of right incisura radialis ulnae, processus coronoideus, right extremitas sternalis claviculae, left extremitas acromialis claviculae and left facies articularis acromii. Arthrosis deformans on facies articularis superior et inferior vertebrae Th 3 _ 10 » with strong exostoses. A perforation caused by discus hernia on Th 9 vertebra body. Grave 5 — Young (juvenile) female deformed skull with mandible (Plate 1:3). A dip caused by deforming bandage after and behind tuberculum prebregmaticum (Plate 1:4). Trace of distortion less apparent on nuchal region. Well-preserved skeletal bones. Grave 6 — Incomplete, fragmentary grown-up (maturus) non-deformed male cranium. A wormian bone on left side of sutura lambdoidea. Cystae above \C, |PM, and PM 2 |. Atrophia in some places. Incomplete skeletal bones. Arthrosis deformans on facies articularis sacri. Processus spinosus and right side processus articularis superior not ossified, caused probably by disturbance of development. Foramen vertebrae deformed, processus spinosus twisted. Grave 7 — Deformed calotte of a 18 mounth-old child. A dip after and behind tuberculum prebregmaticum. Partial sutura metopica. Both of sides cribra orbitalia. Incomplete skeletal bones. Grave 8 — Well-preserved grown-up (adultus) deformed male skull with mandible (Plate 2:1). A dip after and behind tuberculum prebregmaticum. Occipital region strongly
