Objective: The study is to point out the cranial shape determined by the cranial index in relation with the causal agent, the cultural area of skulls origin and cranial morphological trends visually obtained. Methodology: it was used, 18 pre-columbian skulls included in the typological classification of Peter Weiss, in which we proceeded to measure the width and anteroposterior interparietal maximum length, measured from the glabella to opistocráneo; using the mathematical formula that multiplies the eu-eu by 100, divided by the length gl-op. Cranial indexes and cranial shapes are related to the causative agent, the cultural area of origin of the skulls and dolichocephalic and brachycephalic visual trends established in a previous study, seeking equivalence with cranial forms considered in the classification of Martin and Broca. Results and conclusions: 1. The pre-columbian peruvian sku...

Objetivo: el estudio consiste en precisar la forma craneana determinada por el índice craneano relacionándolo con el agente causal, el área cultural de procedencia de los cráneos y las tendencias morfo craneales obtenidas visualmente. Metodología: se empleó 18 cráneos precolombinos comprendidos en la clasificación tipológica de Pedro Weiss, en los cuales se procedió a la medición de los anchos interparietales máximos y longitudes anteroposteriores, medidos de la glabela al opistocráneo; empleando la fórmula matemática que multiplica el eu-eu por 100, dividido por la longitud gl-op. Los índices craneanos y formas craneanas son relacionados con el agente causal, el área cultural de procedencia de los cráneos y las tendencias dolicocefálicas y braquicefálicas establecidas visualmente en anterior estudio, buscando equivalencias con formas craneanas consideradas en la clas...

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...
