Craniometry being used to determine ancestry?

I'm curious as to what the archaeology hive mind thinks of using craniometrics being used to determine ancestry, especially in small populations? I've been reading up on the different theories about the migration of homo sapiens into Southeast Asia and Australia, and it seems like the Two-Layer model is built upon a small sample size. I know that there are comparatively less skeletal remains in the region to work with, but I feel like there's not enough of sample size to reliably base a theory on. Thoughts?

Favorite Texts/Reading on Prehistoric Petroglyphs and Cave Art?

Hi Everyone! I'm fascinated by petroglyphs and cave art and was looking for some recommendations for reading. I've got the requisite Renfrew textbook, but I'm looking for more in-depth stuff. I was thinking of starting with Borneo - Memory of the Caves by Fage and Chazine, but I'm always looking for recommendations!
