The main tools for measuring Specimen 253 are the spreading calipers and the sliding calipers. For the Spreading calipers it has two measurement ways; Cranial Breath and Cranial length. The cranial breath it takes the measurement by moving the points of spreading the caliper along the Parietal bones until you find the maximum reading, at the euryon on both sides of the skull. Next is The Cranial Length which measure two point of the spreading from the forehead (Glabella) to the lower back of the head (Opisthocranion). Fix one of the spreading caliper points on the glabella and hold it with one hand and hold with the other end of the caliper at the Opisthocranion until you found the maximum reading. After you collected your data, you must use the Cephalic index formula to solve the overall size head of specimen 253 (Cranial index = Cranial Breath (100) / Cranial Length). After you finish with the spreading calipers, you will also be using the sliding calipers to measure the nasal region. This tool can measure two ways; the nasal breath and the nasal height. The nasal breath measure the widest portion of the nasal aperture, between the two alare landmarks. The nasal height, it measures from the inferior margin to the superior margins of the nasal bone. After you collected your data for the nasal region, you must apply the nasal index formula to your data (Nasal index = Nasal Breath (100) / Nasal Length). After you collected all you data, you must
