Fourty seven human skeletons dating Formative Period (2,000 B. C. A. D 0) were recovered from the Kuntur Wasi, Loma Redonda, Huacaloma and Kolgitin sites in Cajamarca region, Peru. The artificial cranial deformities, which can be classiffied into the tabular erect type, were observed in nine skulls from these sites excepting the Kolgitin site. The dental caries was frequently found in the Kuntur Wasi people though less frequently than in the recent Peruvians. The facial morphology is not homogeneous, and the aristocratic features are found in some skulls from the Kuntur Wasi and Roma Ledonda sites. The sexual difference of estimated stature is great in the Kuntur Wasi and Huacaloma people. The squatting facets are present in all tali examined, suggesting that the inhabitants customarily sat in the squatting position or walked up and down rocky mountains.

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.

In the late Edo era, a human skeleton intended for medical education was carved from cypress wood by a craftsman, Ikeuchi under the supervision of a medical doctor, Banri Okuda in Osaka City. The model for the carving was based on a criminal's skeleton. The skeleton was beautifully made to be articulated and assembled by various methods, which reveals excellent craftsmanship. By and large, the wooden skeleton shows morphological characteristics usually seen in early middle-aged females of the Edo era. The wooden skeleton might have been used for the promotion of European medicine, which was emergent in the Edo era Japan, rather than for practical medical education.
