Abstract
A method is described whereby three‐dimensional co‐ordinates of points on a cranium can be recorded in terms of azimuth, elevation and radial distance from a selected point. These co‐ordinates can be used to create two‐dimensional representations of single crania, the differences between many crania or growth stages of individuals or series of individuals. The co‐ordinates can be used in more conventional analytic ways in the same way as cartesian co‐ordinates.Keywords
