Pitt Rivers craniometer
Pitt Rivers was not content merely to dig sites and record the bare facts of his discoveries; he wanted to extract the maximum amount of information from his material. All the human bones that he excavated were examined and measured. 'I have contrived a craniometer…which shows the profile of the skulls with perfect accuracy…'.
(Published address to Royal Archaeological Institute Dorchester, Archaeological Journal 1897).
