Abstract
A study was carried out on 104 mandibles and 96 maxillae from anthropo logic collections to challenge or support the studies of Cawood & Howe ll (1988, 1991). The data provided reveal considerable individual vari ations that cast some doubt on the practical use of the classification . It is suggested that the use of individual three-dimensional models will largely replace current modes of depicting resorbed jaws.
