KABWE (BROKEN HILL) 111


Kabwe cranium (female?), but similar in configuration
of anterior root of zygomatic arch and slope of ante-
rior palate. Nasoalveolar clivus short. Maxillary sinus
huge. Palate very deep posteriorly. Incisive canal arcs
anteroinferiorly. P1-2 with totally unseparated roots
(not even bifid at tip). M2 pulp cavity very small. M3
larger relative to M2 than in Kabwe skull, but still
absolutely small. M3 has large postcingulum.
