- W4245618094 abstract "Human Remains from Kish.—Dr. L. H. Dudley Buxton and Mr. D. Talbot Bice have published in the Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, vol. 61, Jan.-June 1931, a report on human crania and skeletal remains from Kish collected by the Field Museum and Oxford University Expedition in the three seasons 1923–26. The material was excavated in the old Sumerian palace at Ingharra (Eastern Kish) and Mound W, and belongs to the period immediately preceding the age of Sargon of Agade. It is contemporary with the fourth and last dynasty of Kish (2900–2800 B.C.), of which the names indicate the Semitic character. Owing to the defective condition of the material the number of specimens available for study is relatively small. In the majority of cases the height of the head cannot be measured, and the series comprises twenty-five specimens only. Examination of the crania suggests a dichotomous classification, corresponding to the linguistic and cultural division into ‘Semitic’ and ‘Sumerian’. The majority of the skulls are distinctly long-headed and usually high, the extra height being due to a well-marked scaphocephaly. Yet the jaws are small instead of large and powerful as among most scapho-cephalous races. This type of skull from Kish is strongly reminiscent of the Combe Capelle skull. The forehead is retreating and the eyebrow ridges prominent, cheek-bones and nose broad. It belongs to the type which has been described as Eurafrican, and is of considerable antiquity, lingering on in remote parts from western Europe to North Africa, and it may be very early in Egypt. The second type is also dolichocephalic. The main distinction is in the contour, which is rounded, not angular. The eyebrow ridges are mainly absent, and the occiput specially prominent. There is no scaphocephaly and the skull is well filled. It is assigned to Elliot Smith's ‘brown race’. The third type is only sparingly represented. It is brachycephalic, with a well-marked eyebrow ridge and a stronger jaw. There is little doubt that it is ‘Armenoid’. It did not penetrate to Ur. In a similar series from Ur the first two races from Kish are present, but not the ‘Armenoid’." @default.
