The nature of the study was thus a morphometric and morphological investigation of anatomical and dental traits. Four non-metric dental traits were recorded for each skull: 1) shovel shape on upper central incisors, Anthropology System (ASU) were used for registration (Scott and Turner, 1997). Three non-metric cranial traits were recorded in the jaws; 1) palatal shape; 2) palatal torus; and 3) mandibular torus. Palatal shape was recorded to be either horseshoe shape, v-shape or parallel sided as described by Byers et al. [129]. Mandibular and palatal tori were recorded by the ASU system [130]. Nineteen cranial measures were taken following the programme manual [124], and the metric **data** was input in the FORDISC programme.
