In the length of M,_, and depth of mandible means are highest during the period from about 25 000 to about 14 000 , that is the last glacial maximum ( 16-17). In the height of the ascending ramus the mean is higher at the beginning of this period. In all three parameters an earlier high occurs in levels OLP1 or when means are highest for length of lower tooth row (Fig. 18) and length of mandible plus incisor (Fig. 19). The data for level OLP2 are reliable, being based on a good sample, but those from level OLP1 require improvement.
