The principal component analyses on the craniofacial measurements of artificially deformed and undeformed skulls from the North Pacific coast of North America showed that some of the covariations in the craniofacial measurements tended to be caused or ceased by artificial deformations. It was consistently suggested from both male and female samples that while the anteroposterior and conical compressions of the cranial vault had little influence on the facial structure, they increased the variations of some neurocranial measurements, especially of parietal chord, together with those of maximum cranial length and breadth. This consistent pattern of covariation implies the existence of a mechanism for coordinating the development of parts of the craniofacial structure in response to external mechanical factors.
