The Stone Age - notes

 

p. 13 - (1) I did not receive thts find until after most of the manuscript of the present paper was completed and all of the plates were printed.

p. 22 - (1) The doubt which has been raised as to the Mesolithic age of the Ertebølle and Kassemose skeletons (cf. Rydbeck op. cit. pp. 42— 51) is baseless in Brøndsted's opinion (p. 337).

p. 25 - (1) According to S. Hansen (Meddelelser om Danmarks Antropologi, Vol. I, 2 Avd. 1908) the mean cephalic index for men and women for the whole of Denmark is 80.5 and 81.3 respectively (p. 80).

p. 31 - (1) 3 childrens' skulls in Reche's material (Nos. 72—74) have a considerably higher c. i. than the other skulls, namely 78.5, 79.6 and 81.2. These are not included in the calculation of the means.

p. 48 - (1) The distribution seen in Tables XiII—XV does not agree fully with Fürst's, as here, as in the computation of the means for the Swedish skulls, I have not included Fürst's two childrens' skulls (Nos. 20 and 26) nor the skull of the circa 16 year old boy (No. 2S) with open cranial sutures.
