Objective:To estimate the age of the skulls with artificial cephalic deformation through the obliteration of the Palatine, cranial sutures and other age indicators present in the chronology of tooth eruption; es-tablishing coherent or conflicting relationship between them. Materials and method: it consisted of 18 pre-Columbian skulls in the typological classification of Pedro Weiss. Estimation of the age is based on ossification ectocraneal of the sutures of the system box cranial and lateral anterior Meindl & Lovejoy, the obliteration of Palatine by the Mann method sutures, and other indicators of age; registering grades of closure suture of each craneometricos points; rated as: 0 = open suture; 1 = minimum obliteration; 2 = significant obliteration; 3 = complete obliteration. The sum of the values obtained according to Meindl & Lovejov or the obliteration of the last midpalatal...
