description | The archaeological settlement of the Crès (Hérault), dating to the ancient Chassean, produced 49 individuals (27 adults and 22 immature subjects). This series is the most important for this chronological period in the south of France and enables characterization of the biological variability of the population of the site through study of the osteometric features and the anatomical variations. These individuals are characterized by a small stature, a pronounced sexual dimorphism in the size of the long bone and slender lower limbs. However, the robustness indexes do not vary between sexes. The long bone measurements of one of the males lie outside the variability within the group. The frequency of some anatomical variations differs from those observed in modern populations. |
