Description: | Whangerei, Auckland, New Zealand CULT Polynesian: Maori New Zealand Polynesia There is a square label on the right parietal bone that reads 'Maori skull, Maunu Cave nr Whangerei Township, Auckland N.Z. Thomas Steel Esq. Donor 1886.' The accession number of the skull 'E.589' appears on a long white label on the left parietal bone. Below this, the number is again written in black ink.-The left temporal bone has very faint black writing; this is probably 'N.Z' as seen on the other skulls. The skull is Mesocaphalic in shape and is fairly heavy and robust. The skull has moderate wear on the teeth but some are almost completely missing due to decay. The skull shows advanced suture closure of the vault but the lateral-anterior is very much open. It is for this reason that the skull is probably not that old but before middle age and female. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | SKULL : HUMAN : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
