Anatomical variations and abnormalities are summarized in Table 8. In summing up it can be stated that in our cemetery the appearance of the examined 12 characteristics is average compared with other Arpadian age series. They are more frequent at males than at females (e. g. ossa Wormiana, sacrum bifidum) (Fig. 2). We could recognize spondylosis deformans on the vertebrae of 10 individuals. It is 21.28% of the whole postcranial skeletons. There are 7 males, 2 females and 1 undeterminable sex among them. We observed arthrosis deformans on the tibia of the male of Grave No. 44a and on some of the long bones of the male of Grave No. 51 (Fig. 1). TAXONOMICAL ANALYSIS 10 male and 4 female skulls were suitable for the secondary taxonomical examination. The ratio of Nordoids is the greatest, 30% in the male group. The males of Grave Nos. 17/2 (Ad) and 41 (Ad) clearly carry Nordoid characteristics. The features are mixed with an undetermined group on the skull of Grave No. 12 (n-x). The stature of this individual is medium, which relates to the mixing of the types. Cromagnoids are represented by the skull of Grave No. 8 among the males. This skull is brachycephalic according to the cranial index, but the stature of this person is not known owing to the fragmentary postcranial bones. On the basis of his face this skull is CrB-x. The common feature of the males from Grave Nos. 34a (Ad) and 47a (Ad) is the low, wide-medium wide face with hyperdolichocranic skull. Unfortunately, none of their mandibles are intact, so their complete faces can only be imagined. I think that the characteristics of Lappids and those of a dolychocranic type - may be Nordoid - are mixed on these two faces. The features of the Lappid type can be seen on the male skull of Grave No. 24a (Mat), too. In this case a mesocranic brain-case is added to the low, wide face. The male skulls of Grave Nos. 17a (Mat) and 38a (Mat) are similar to each other. They have dolichocranic skulls with high and medium wide faces. The characteristics of Atlanto-Mediterranean type are mixed with those of an other type with wider face (am-x). The male skull of Grave No. 51 (Mat) shows the features of Mediterranean type. His stature was higher than the common stature in the classical Mediterranean group (m-x). In the female group Grave No. 35 (Juv) shows the characteristics of Gracile Mediterranean type (m), but opposite to the common dolichocranic skull hers is expressively hyperdolichocranic. The brachycranic female skull of Grave No. 36a (Ad) belongs to the Alpian group. The characteristics are combined with other features (a-x). The female skull of Grave No. 38b (Juv) carries the Nordoid features mixed with others (n-x). Her skull was hyperdolichocranic. The dolichocranic female skull of Grave No. 52 (Ad) is a typical CrA one. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS I have drawn 6 Arpadian age cemeteries into the comparative analysis. They were taken from the 10th to the 12th centuries. The selection of the series was dictated by their geographic locations and their archaeological ages.
