I took a week of respite from dissertation data collection on the Pachacamac sample at the Smithsonian to examine a small 19th century Chinese collection, also brought to the Natural History Museum by Ales Hrdlicka. There are 63 individuals in the collection, all of whom worked in the Karluk, Alaska Canneries near the turn of the century. Dr. Elizabeth Miller, at California State University, Los Angeles, had begun a project with this sample and presented a paper on the incidence of trauma in it with Sara Simon at the 2002 Paleopathology Meetings. I collected some additional data on craniometrics and cranial discrete traits for this project. I also investigated the letters written by Hrdlicka about this collection. The collection was fascinating and provided me with a chance to examine a population that was completely different from the South American ones I had worked with previously and it also provided me with an opportunity to explore my interest in working with historic cemeteries.
