Corded Type (Battle-Axe type)

[Joso]

I think Artek and me approach this type most here on TA:

- angular face/jaw
- straight nose, slightly snub
- dolichocephalic with low and angular (not high and rounded) occiput
- angular eye sockets (not rounded)

so enough CM and the Nordic/NorthPontic

right?

So cordeds have low and angular occipitals too? I thought this was a trait mostly of hallstatt nordids, keltids and brunns.
Coon's cordeds don't look to have much of this trait, maybe his examples are not good?

dunno, man, I posted that over 4 years ago. that Polish guy Artek does look Corded. I obviously don't. is Corded the same with Kurgan?

Maybe without the hair, it would look more angular?

Well, they have very long heads and their browridges are not so developed, so i guess the asnwer is yes, they do have rhomboid occiputs too.

There is nothing much special about Corded, it is merely an exaggeratedly high vaulted Nordic variety.

Which are the differencies between corded and atlanto-med?

Corded is higher-vaulted, everything else is basically indistinguishable. Being really sincere here, no Anthropologist would be able to accurately distinguish a Corded from a 'Atlanto-Mediterranean' skull. Coon admits it on TRoE: the Corded crania are larger than any from Egypt, and are metrically very similar to the Elmenteita skulls from East Africa - the two groups could be combined without loss of homogeneity.

I remember reading a recent paper of a Russian Physical Anthropologist trying to distinguish Nordics from Mediterraneans by PCA-ing immense series of each type and running some discriminant algorithms in it. The results were not conclusive, and he used much more variables than Coon did in his book. But presumably Nordic narrow-faced 'Indo-European' series did showed more affinity to each other. Probably the easiest way to distinguish closely related human skulls by phenotype is by looking at metric and nonmetric dental traits.

I think this Spaniard blue eyed atlanto-med would fit well as corded if it was not for his very dark hair and his upper facial height( 69) that seens to be a bit shorter than ideal, maybe.

He is also lower vaulted but overall i think the similarity is big
