| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to study the actual situation, a meaning in the origin of "a strange custom" in French traditional society concerning the deformation skull (crâne toulousain). At first the study representative photographed 20 examples of such skull possessed in the anthropology library of the National Museum of Natural History of Paris, and I got the cooperation of Dr.Philippe Mennecier and others of the Museum and investigated their origin and characteristics. In next year, I collected related documents in the National Library and the National Archives in Paris, and studied it how this custom was placed in folk-culture. I checked several points of heteromorphic cranial examples in Mediterranean Civilization Museum of Marseille in 2014 and obtained articles such as physical anthropologist Paul Broca of Anthropological Society of Paris which set a brilliant achievement for this deformation skull study and clarified its historic and social background.
