Abstract: The materials of human crania from Shan Pu La cemetery, Luopu county, Xinjiang are restudied by author in this paper. The conclusion is that ancient population represented by these crania is very close to the east Mediterranean race of the dolichocephalic Europoid in basic morphological characters and not a mixed pattern of “Great Mongoloid with some Europoid characters”, as Shao said in his article.

Key words: Shan Pu La; Human crania; Mediterranean race
