Dr. T. Tóth szerk.: Studia historico-anthropologica (Anthropologia Hungarica 14. Budapest, 1975)

In ascertaining the metric data, I followed MARTIN (1928), and according to the state of preservation of the skulls took a maximum of 54 measure­ments of brain cases and facial skeletons. The male measurements and indices are given in Tables HI-IV, those of the females in Tables V-VI, those of the children in Tables VII-VIII. The angular measures and mor­phoscopic characteristics of male skulls are shown in Table IX, those of females in Table X. The parameters of male and female series are given in Tables XI and XII. When calculating the parameters, the individual ones showing a striking deviation from the values of the other series were dis­regarded. The distribution of the main morphometric characteristics is collected in Tables XIII and XIV by applying the usual anthropological methods (SCHEIDT 192 7, MARTIN-SALLER 1957). The results of the examinations of individual anatomical variations are contained in Table XV. Stature was calculated (Tables XVI-XVII) from the measurement data of the long bones (WOLANSKI 1953). SEX AND AGE The number of determinable adults is 43, making 66 % of all finds evaluated while the remaining 22 individuals represent the group of children, 34 % of all skeletal remains. The proportion of male finds is 20 %, that of females 2, 5 times higher, i. e. 45 %. The children of undeterminable sex represent 34 % and that of adults 1 % of the entire material. GENERAL ANTHROPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS The general anthropological characterization of the population is based on the morphometric values calculated from the individual measurements and
