graded into five classes, the values +2 and +1 represent masculinity, the values -2 and -1 femininity, while the value 0 means femininity in the case of males and masculinity in the case of females. The mean of these numerical figures relating phological sexual dimorphism of the individual. Table 10 submits the state of preservation of the skeletal remains of the excavated individuals,as well as the individual data of the sex and age determinations . The chemico-analytical , serological, and histological examinations of the skeletal material was made by Dr. IMRE LENGYEL (LENGYEL- NEMESKÉRI 1963; LENGYEL 1964) and for the cession of his respective data I wish to express my gratitude also in this place. The results of his determination as to sex agreed in all details with mine, with the plus that I. LENGYEL was able, by his investigations, to determine the sex of also those in the infant age. With his kind permission, I propose to submit some of his results in the present paper. The distribution according to age of the findings is given in Table 1. The first conspicuous aspect of the population is the small number of the dead infants. This is due either to the fact that the graves of the children were in the destroyed section of the cemetery or that the majority of the infants and young children have not been buried in the cemetery.For this latter case ,parallels are known from the cemeteries of the Great Migrations in the Central Danubian Basin (ERY 1967). Owing to the small amount of dead ini'ants, the value of the average life expectancy at birth was rather high: 36,4 years, as is to be seen in the abridged life-table (Table 2). Given the known number of dead children, however, this value may have been lower, presumably about 30 years. Twenty years old males may have expected to live 28,2 years more, the females 26,3 years. Between the ages 30-35 years, the life expectancy of males and females Was nearly identical, but over 35 years that of the males became more disadvantageous . to the investigated characters also presents a picture for the degree of the morX X ZS Figure 1.
