served in a rather good state. The distribution per sex and age ia given on plage 85. Sex and age determinations were made morphoscopically and biochemically too/see (Table l);the latter by Dr. I. LENGYEL, Sex identification by the biochemical method agreed in every case with the morphoscopic one, but deviations were more considera-r ble when determining age. According to LENGYEL, various diseases might have been the case of deviations apprearing in age determinations by biochemical means, so that the age data obtained morphoscopically were considered valid in this study. However, biochemical age determinations have their own importance as controls or supplementary data. According to the data given in Acsádi's paper cited in the main text, the mortality of children, rather low as related to other cemeteries of the Árpád Period, refers to a comparative prosperity of the population. For a general analysis, only 14 male and 16 female skeletons of the 59 skeletal remains were suitable from the point of view of a detailed morphological and typological investigation. The male series is characterizable in general by dolichocrany

, a medium wide and low face, angular forms, and a high, convex nasal ridge. The female series shows also dolichocrany, medium wide, low,and medium high face, more rounded forms, and a high, convex nasal ridge. The. rate of homogeneity was established by 12 measurements and 8 indices, applying mean sigma values (Table 2). Accordingly, the population is heterogeneous, and within it the females more so than the males. The rate of the sexual dimorphism, appearing in absolute measurements (Table 6) and expressed in percentages as related to the male measurements, is given in the first .column of Table 3(The minus sign refers to female mean values greater than the male ones). The second column of the Table contains sexual dimorphism values in percentages, calculated by the same method,
