对南加州海峡岛地区的头盖骨进行了检查，以寻找创伤的证据。颅顶外板凹陷骨折在北部海峡群岛的骨骼遗骸中很常见(18.56%，n=598)，但在大陆海岸的骨骼遗骸中很少见(7.5%，n=146)。岛上居民普遍存在创伤，这可能是在一个受地理限制的环境中对资源进行激烈竞争的结果。在英吉利海峡群岛的早期和晚期史前时期，颅骨损伤的频率显著增加。这一时间变化似乎反映了与人口增长和环境不稳定有关的暴力模式的变化。
Crania from the Channel Island area of southern California were examined for evidence of traumatic injuries. Well-healed depressed fractures in the outer table of the cranial vault are common in skeletal remains from the northern Channel Islands (18.56% n = 598) but rare in those from the mainland coast (7.5% n = 146). This prevalence of traumatic injuries among the islanders may be a result of intense competition over resources in a geographically circumscribed environment. The frequency of cranial injuries increases significantly between the early and late prehistoric periods on the Channel Islands. This temporal variation appears to reflect changes in patterns of violence associated with population growth and environmental instability.
