"cranID runs under Windows. The package, including the manual, can be downloaded as a self-extracting EXE file from:

https://www.box.net/shared/h0674knjzl

After downloading, create a new folder, for example C:\cranID. Copy the downloaded file (current version is Cr6bInd.exe) to this folder. Double click on the file to unpack it. Read the opening pages of the manual for how to get going."

And

The following paragraph contains errors, due to misinterpretation of my manual.

"The program compares unknown crania to 74 geographical samples that are from a collection of 3,163 crania from 39 different populations from around the world. This data set consists of W.W. Howells' 1973 study of cranial variation of 2,524 crania from 28 populations from around the world. This database also consists of measurements from Beduin crania provided by Martha Lahr, samples of measurements collected from Poundbury, a Romano-British 4th century AD site, and measurements from the Iron Age in Palestine and the Indian Subcontinent, provided by London’s Natural History Museum. Wright also added cranial measurements from Australian Aborigines form the Sydney area, which were provided by the La Perouse Aboriginal Land Council in conjunction with the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council. The data set also consists of cranial measurements from India, provided by P. Reghavan and D. Bulbeck, crania from Southern Italy, and Neolithic crania from Denmark, that were provided later by R. Kruszynski of the Natural History Museum, and P. Bennike of the Pranum Institute respectively. "

Please substitute the following for the above - the corrections in which can be verified by consulting the cranID manual!

"The program compares unknown crania to 74 geographical samples that are from 3,163 crania from 39 different populations from around the world. The starting point of the database is W.W. Howells' 1973 study of cranial variation of 2,524 crania from 28 populations from around the world. Added to Howells’ data are measurements of Beduin crania provided by Martha Lahr. Robert Krusynski of London’s Natural History Museum provided measurements from Poundbury (a Romano-British 4th century AD site), from the Iron Age in Palestine, from post-Medieval Italy, and from the Indian subcontinent. P. Raghavan and D. Bulbeck provided measurements from the Punjab area of the Indian subcontinent. Wright added his own measurements of samples from Patagonia, Medieval London, Neolithic Denmark, and an Aboriginal sample from the Sydney area (with the permission of the  La Perouse Aboriginal Land Council and the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council)."
