the measurements and did the taxonomical analysis; blood groups were determined by L. Zs. SANTORA and H. Zs. VÁCZI*. Some preliminary results have already been published (VARGA SUSA&SANTORA 1982). Facial flatness data were later added to complete the anthropological analysis (I. PAP).

Age-groups were classified according to MARTIN'S categories (1928). Facial skeleton and brain case measurements were taken in accordance with MARTEM's methodology (1928). Measurements and inces were grouped conforming to the ALEXEYEV&DEBETS categories (1964). Primary taxonomical analysis was based on the DEBETS&TÔTH principles (TÔTH 1958). Secondary taxonomical characteristics were studied by LIPTÁK's method (1954, 1957, 1965, 1969). Stature was determined by BREITINGER's (1947) method for the males and by BACH's (1965) for the females. Stature was reconstructed according also to PEARSON'S method (1899). The ABO blood group type was identified from the protein extracted from the bones by the elution method. The authors attempted to establish the relative age of the burial by the HARSÁNYI&SANTORA (1974) method, on the basis of the distributions of proteins. PA LEODEMOGRAPHIC A L ANALYSIS Distribution according to age and sex is given in Table 1. 90 infant and juvenile individuals of 208 individuals were found to be suitable for analysis. There were 45 specimens from the group infans I and 20 from the group infans II. Among the 118 grown-ups 74 males and 35 females could be identified. That is, the number of males is more than twice that of females! The sex or age of 8 individuals could not be determined. As far as age groups are concerned it can be stated that 28. 6% of the females and 21. 6% of the males died in the adult age. 75. 7% of the males reached a mature age. At the same time, only 65. 7% of the females did so. The facts indicate much less favourable mortality conditions for the females than for the males. GENERAL ANTHROPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS Males: Brain case, according to the mean values, medium long, but short skulls also frequently occur (Tables 2, 4, 14). Extremely narrow and narrow brain cases occurring most frequently. Most skulls very high, but low, medium high and high skulls also present in equal The authors wish to say many thanks to L. Zs. Santora (Institute of Criminological Technology of the Ministry of the Interior) and to H. Zs. Váczi (Forensic Medicine Institute, Budapest) for determining blood groups.
