mined by the method of PEARSON (in FARKAS 1972) and that of DEBETS : DURNOVO (1971). In calculating the weight we proceeded according to DEBETS & DURNOVO (1971), while the quadratic weight-stature index according to DEBETS's method. LIPTÁK's method was applied in the taxonomical analysis (1954, 1965, 1969). Comparative analysis was proceeded by using PENROSE'S method (1954). PA LEODEMOGRAPHIC A L ANALYSIS It can be stated that few individuals died at the age of infans I. It is 32, which is 14.7% of the whole series. Twenty individuals died at the age of infans II (9.2%), 12 persons at a juvenis age (5. 5%). Hence the number of children is 52 (23. 8%). Most of the individuals (85) died at the adultus age (39%), 44 at the maturus age (20.2%) and 1 person at the senilis age. Among the grown-ups there are 52 males and 88 females. The distribution of males by age can be given as follows: 3 individuals are juvenis (5.8%), 26 are adultus (50.0%) and 20 are maturus (38.5%). The age of 3 males could not be determined owing to the bad state of preservation. The distribution of females: 5 persons are juvenis (5.6%), 54 are adultus (61.3%), 24 are maturus (27.2%) and 1 person is at the age of senilis (1. 1%). The age of 4 females is undeterminable. In comparing the age at the time of death of the males and that of the females, certain differences are readily observable. Fifty percent of the males and 61.3% of the females died in the adultus age. 38. 5% of the males lived to maturus age while same is only 27.2 in the case of females. The cause of this difference may be explained by maternal mortality (ACSÁDI 1965). There are several double-graves. Adultus women and infans I children were in Graves 20, 133 and 188. Adultus woman and juvenis child were in Graves 119 (Plate 1). Graves 120 is very interesting. It has adultus man and woman having been buried hand in hand (Plate 2). It is worth mentioning that there are also 2 horse skeletons (Graves 140, 194). ANTHROPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS Males : Brain-case according to the mean-values is long - medium long, medium wide, medium high. According to the calculated indices it is dolichocranic (but the ratio of hyperdolichocranic is the most frequent), chamaecranic (but the orthocranic value is the most frequent), acrocranic, eurymetopic. The circumference of most of the skulls is ovoid in norma verticalis. Glabella is medially developed, generally of degrees 2 and 3. Arcus superciliaris is discernible (65%), strong (32%). Protuberantia occipitalis externa is of degree 2 in general, processus mastoideus is moderately or strongly developed. Characteristics of the facial skeleton are: medium wide zygomatic arc with medium bizygomatic breadth. Both face and upper face are medium high. Both orbita and nose are medium wide and medium high. According to the indices the facial skeleton is mesoprosopic (but the ratio of the euryprosopic category is high too), mesen. Orbita is most frequently mesoconch but the chamaeconch category is frequent enough. Nose is both mesorrhine and leptorrhine in equal proportion. Palate is mesostaphyline. Orbita is usually subrectangular

, lower edge of nasal aperture is anthropine. Spina nasalis anterior is generally of degrees 1, 2 or 3 of an equal proportion. Fossa canina is medium deep. Alveolar regio in the most proportion is vertical (59%), but moderate alveolar prognathy is observed too (31%). Stature is 166. 3 cm by the PEARSONmethod and 167. 1 cm by the DEBETS's method. It is medium-great medium (Tables 2-4). Females: Brain-case according to the mean-values is long, mpdium high, medium wide. According to the calculated indices it is dolichocranic (although hyperdolichocranic is the most frequent among the individuals: 44%), orthocranic, acrocranic (metriocranic category is also frequent), eurymetopic (medium , wide and very wide forehead are frequent). The circumference of most of the skulls is ovoid in norma verticalis. Glabella is weakly developed, generally of degrees 1 or 2. Processus mastoideus is small. Facial skeleton's characteristics are: medium wide zygomatic arc, medium bizygo-
