“…The practice of purposefully altering the natural morphology of the cranial vault has a wide geographical and temporal distribution (Lunier, 1869;Magitot, 1885;Dorsey, 1895;Hrdlicka, 1905Hrdlicka, ,1922McGibbon, 1912;Boaz, 1913;Stokes, 1920;Dingwall, 1931;Goldstein, 1940;Newman, 1942;Hasluck, 1947;Field, 1948;Imbelloni, 1950;Briggs, 1952;Blackwood and Danby, 1955;Broth-well, 1963;Roger, 1975;Munizaga, 1976;Gerszten, 1993). For many physical anthropologists in the early part of this century, research goals pertaining to cranial deformation often mirrored those of contemporary archaeological research, e.g., description, typology, and mapping geographical distributions.…”

Maya adult crania from the site of Lamanai, Belize provide a retrospective means of examining growth processes in the cranial vault. The Lamanai population practiced fronto-occipital deformation which is found to be significantly associated with premature sagittal synostosis and wormian bones of the lambdoidal suture. The undeformed members of the population also exhibit an abnormally high frequency of sagittal synostosis, but a significantly lower frequency than the deformed sample. It is suggested that the deforming apparatus creates tensile forces on the sagittal suture during the peak period of growth of the parietals, and that these forces might induce an adaptive response important in producing premature sagittal synostosis. The undeformed sample may have an increased congenital risk of sagittal synostosis created by their natural brachycephalic morphology in utero. The frequency patterning of wormian bones suggests a mixture of genetic and environmental causes in which tensile forces may also play a role.

“…Cranial deformation has been practiced by various .human groups including North and South American Indians, Pacific Islanders, and various European stocks (Flower, 1881;Dingwall, 1931;Dembo and Imbelloni, 1938;Hasluck, 1947;Blackwood and Danby, 1955). This deformation has been generally defined as head-binding exclusive of unintentional cradle-boarding.…”

Three morphologically distinct populations of Peruvian crania (n = 130) were metrically analysed to quantify changes resulting from intentional artificial vault deformation. Two of these samples are artificially deformed (anteroposterior [AP] and circumferential [C] types). Measurements taken from lateral radiographs demonstrated that alternative forms of the cranial base angle (N-S-Ba, planum angle, planum sphenoidale to plane of the clivus and PANG angle, planum sphenoidale to basion-sella plane) and the orbital and OANG angles (orbital roof to plane of the clivus and basion-sella plane, respectively) of both deformed groups increased while the angle S-Ba-O decreased significantly with respect to the undeformed (N) sample. Changes in the AP group are largely due to anteroinferior displacement of the basion-sella plane. Similar changes in group C are amplified by this group's posterosuperior frontal migration. This migration results in a relatively shallow orbit at the orbital plate/frontal squama interface. Unlike the deformation experienced by the external vault plates, the basion-sella plane orientation remains stable with respect to the Frankfort Horizontal. Additionally, nasal region measurements such as maximum nasal aperture breadth and nasal height were largely stable between each deformed group and the undeformed group. However, facial (bimaxillary and bizygomatic), basicranial, cranial, and frontal breadths decreased significantly from group AP to group N to group C. Thus, gross morphological facial changes between each undeformed group and the control group are largely accounted for by dimensional changes in peripheral structures. These results stress the importance of the dynamic interrelationship between the cranial vault and base in the development of the craniofacial complex.
