		The West and East Frisians conform most frequently to the ideal Frisian form, a long, angular, large-boned type with large hands and feet, a large, bony head and face, with a prominent jaw, thin lips, a long, straight nose, heavy browridges, and a high forehead.
		In North Frisia, where the Frisian settlement is younger than elsewhere, shorter smaller-framed men, hook-nosed, with retreating foreheads, and often with darker hair and eye color, form a second type, which is palpably Dinaric and may be a survival of the Bronze Age.

	H-Net Review: Timothy Fehler on Indifferenz und Dissens in der Grafschaft Ostfriesland im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert
		Although her model of indifference is not a concept in the contemporary sources, she argues that it captures the religious expression of many who did not "dissent" by taking the more explicit step of rejecting a confessional alternative.
		Indeed, a central assumption that underlies the concept of indifference is that many early modern East Frisians perceived alternatives in the religious landscape and were perhaps somewhat disinterested in the institutional and theological structures promoted by the authorities.
		East Frisia also saw a shift in how the authorities dealt with dissenters over the time frame of this study.
