metery mutually, namely for about 20 years (according to Dr .LENGYEL'a analysis who had determined that the individuals buried during the common use of the cemetery had been those lying in Graves 25, 26, 74, 75 in the southern wing and those reposing in Graves 7, 52, 55, 58, 63 in the northern wing) . Since the grave of the fifth individual exhibiting a trephined skull, a senile female presumably belonging to the first generation of the Kál population, is also in the southern wing (Grave 75), one may infer that even during the common use of the cemetery the two groups might have adhered to burying their dead in their own section of the cemetery. The fact, finally, that the latest graves occur only in the northern wing of the cemetery probably implies that the third generation of the earlier community, namely the one of the southern wing, declined, for some cause, to use the cemetery any more. The factors causing the assumed later settling of the northern group and the later departure of the southern group could be enlightened or clarified by historical and archeological analyses. I should like to stress repeatedly and emphatically again that all possibilities derived above from the internal analysis of the cemetery are hypothetical inferences. And even if the archeological analysis will be found to support these theories, it would still fail to elevate them above the level of probable eventualities, partly owing to the incompleteness of the available subject material, partly because the feasibility of drawing valid conclusions - despite the comparatively advanced methods of anthropology, medicine and archeology - is still considerably delimited.
