large medium according to Breitinger's calculation, on the basis of the data on 4 male individuals. The only female individual suitable for calculations was of medium stature by Manouvrier' s method and tall according to Bach (Table 6). Individual measurements of males are summarized in Table 7 and those of females in Table 8. ANOMALIES We cannot form a realistic picture of the frequency of anatomical variations and abnormalities from their percentage within this incomplete series. Owing to this very state of incompletness it would be a mistake to draw conclusions regarding the entire cemetery and this is why I have not presented the percentages of characteristics projected for the series and I also thought it unnecessary to summarize them in any table. The very numerous occurrence of certain variations also seems to justify our presumption that only the more interesting bones have been collected. For example sutura metopica could be found on 6 individuals (1 Infans II, 2 Juvenis, 2 males - 1 Ad, 1 Mat, 1 female Ad). It is not probable that, contrary to a good number of other results (WENGER (1974) calculated an average of 5. 7% for Avar-period series in Hungary, FERENCZ (1983) 7. 9% for the cemetery of Solymár), the average occurrence of sutura metopica could be 22.2% in the cemetery of Csepel. Ossa Wormiana could be found on 7 skulls. It was located with 5 individuals in the sutura lambdoidea, with 1 in the sutura coronalis and with 1 in the sutura sagittalis. I could also find it at the incisura parietalis beside the sutura lambdoidea on skull No. 9416 of a Senium male. Os epiptericum could be seen in 2 cases. While it could be found only on the right-side of the adult female skull Inv. No. 9418, it could be found on both sides of the juvenile skull Inv. No. 9432. Os bregmaticum occured on the adult female Inv. No. 9431. Sutura incisiva can be seen on the maxilla of the Infans II age child Inv. No. 9406, however it is incomplete. The mature woman of Inv. No. 9405 is bathrocephal but in a strange, assymmetric way, as the anomaly developed only on the left-side of the skull. Torus palatinus sagittalis could be registered in 5 cases (4 females, 1 Juvenis), usually in a moderate form. Adult male Inv. No. 9410 had divided condylus occipitalis. Perforatio fossae olecrani humeri could be found in 2 cases (2 adult females) within the very limited quantity of postcranial material. Exostosis can be seen on the right femur, on the right tibia and on the right radius of adult male Inv. No. 9421. Unfortunately the left-side long-bones have not been collected so we shall never know if they showed anomalies. Arthritis deformans can be found on the right femur of adult female Inv. No. 9411 and on both femora of adult female Inv. No. 9412/a. Considering the fact that there are no spondylic vertebrae or other postcranial bones present in this series the question must be posed, whether they did bear some anomalies but were not found worthy of attention at the time of the excavation or there were nö anomalies at all. TAXONOMICAL ANALYSIS 4 male and 4 female skulls were suitable for the evaluation of primary taxonomical characteristics (Tables 9, 10, 11, 12). Nasomalar angle (Martin 77): average values for both sexes are of Euorpoid character. 1 male (Inv. No. 9417) and 1 female (Inv. No. 9418) present data similar to the mean value of Europoid and Mongoloid group averages. Zygomaxillar angle (ZM): individual and average values for both sexes are characteristic for Europoids. Dacryal subtense (DS): male values are of Europoid character in all cases, while that of 1 female (Inv. No. 9405) is quite close to the typical value of Mongoloids. For this reason
