contained in Table 1. In case of children, we determined the age at the time of death, by investigating the eruption of deciduous and permanent teeth. In case of grown-ups, we took into consideration the endocranial ossification of sutures, the Vallois' grades of the suture ossification of the endocranial surface and the degree of abrasio (after Körber) (Farkas 1972). In the evaluations, we took into consideration the Martin-Sailer (1957) age-groups. In taking absolute measurements, we followed the Martin-technique (1928). For the examination of facial flatness we used the DebetzTóth method (Farkas 1972). Facial profile was evaluated and measurements and indices were classified according to Debetz's categories (Alexeyev-Debetz 1964). In the analysis of primary taxonomical characters we used the work of Debetz (Alexeyev-Debetz 1964). We made the taxonomical analysis on the basis of Lipták's (1969) and Tóth'

s (1962, 1967, 1968, 1969) method. Table 1. Distribution of sex, age and preservation Age groups Measurable Unmeasurable Total Age groups ? undet. ê ?

Distance calculations were carried out according to the Penrose' s method (1954), while in standardizations were used the mean sigma values given by Debetz (Alexeyev-Debetz 1964). Some series were compared according to the Alexeyeva' s special indices (1966). GENERAL ANTHROPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS Males: Brain-case according to the mean-values is long - very long, medium wide (but the "wide" category is more frequent), medium high (as to their distribution, the ratio of categories "low" and "high" is the most frequent). Brain-case according to the calculated indices is dolochocranic-hyperdolichocranic, chamaecranic-hyperchamaecranic, metriocranic and metriometopic. Circumference of most of the skulls is ovoid in norma verticalis. Glabella is strongly or medially developed, generally of degrees 4 and 5. Arcus superciliaris is strong, protuberantia occipitalis externa is medially developed, generally of degrees 2 and 3. Processus mastoideus is strongly developed.
