Observational analysis identifies cranial morphology changes in bats from Papua New Guinea, suggesting stable traits despite anthropogenic factors.

The adapted methodology supports cranial measurement in bat remains, demonstrating its applicability to archaeozoological contexts.
Results indicate no significant morphological size change in bat cranial remains across time, from the late Pleistocene to mid-Holocene.
Method implementation revealed unexpected taphonomic impacts on cranial elements, highlighting the need for deeper analysis.
The study suggests that traditional methodologies can enhance understanding of bat archaeology, especially in regions like Papua New Guinea.

Muller‐Murchie et al. (2025) studied this question.
