DESCRIPTION:My paper takes as its starting point a ‘Diagram of Climate a
 nd Race’ published by the archaeologist Flinders Petrie in the anthropol
 ogical journal Man in 1902. I will consider Petrie’s assumptions around 
 race and skull dimensions inherent in the diagram and how this relates to 
 his work at this time. Petrie collected skulls for what became the Nationa
 l Eugenics Laboratory at UCL and I will concentrate on the use by ‘compu
 ters’ at UCL of skulls from the predynastic site of Naqada\, Petrie’s 
 first large collection for Karl Pearson.
