| Abstract [eng] |
The anthropometric characterization of the Siksali population was compared with the archaeological populations of the adjacent territories. Gradual changes took place in all bone dimensions of both males and females. The average cranial length and height of the male population diminished by 7 mm during 300 year and the stature by 5-6 cm. The Siksali burials reflect vividly the history and the demographic situation of the SE corner of Estonia in a wider morphological and cultural context. |
