An almost complete adult male skull, two incomplete adult female crania, and several adult limb bones of the early historic time (the Heian period), discovered in the Tekiana cave site on Tobi-shima Island in the Sea of Japan, were measured and described. Comparison was made with the recent Japanese, protohistoric Japanese of the Kofun period, the Jomon remains, the recent Ainu in Hokkaido, and a nearly contemporary skeletal series from Troickoe in the Amur valley. The male skull showed the closest resemblance to the Jomon remains, and the two female crania were closest either to the protohistoric Kofun series or the recent Japanese, both in metric and morphological comparisons. This probably implies that there was some element retaining archaic Jomon-like morphological features among the population of early historic times in the northern part of Honshu Island.
