Abstract

An adult male cranium of the Okhotsk cultural period was excavated at the Mena-shidomari site. Esashi-cho, Hokkaido, in 1987.<br>Only a half of the facial skeleton was preserved. The protruded glabella, low orbits, relatively small maxilla and zygomatic bones were the main anthropological features of this cranium, which resemble the features of the Hokkaido Ainu cranium.<br>The results of the craniometric deviation graphs and the PENROSE's shape distances also indicated that the Menashidomari cranium is closer to the Ainu than to the Okhotsk cranium.
