From among the ten anatomical variation-frequencies described by Brothwell (1959) the lambdoid suturai bones can be found in the cranium. And we may observe other morphological and anatomical deformations, too: supranasal suturation, insertion of strong muscles in the nuchal plane, parietal foramen on the right side, an angular and divided left jugular foramen, a strong mental trigone. In the skeletal bones there are to be seen no anatomical deformations except a developmental malformation in the caudal and cranial bifid sacrum. The bifid sacrum as a developmental malformation is, according to Rególy—Mérei (1962), one of the anomalies occurring most frequently. There aren't to be observed any morphologically pathological deformations either in the cranium or in the skeletal bones. Taking Lipták's (1962, 1965) taxonomic works as our starting-point, the cranium is showing Cromagnoid-A and Nordic characteristics (Plate 1). The characteristic features of Cromagnoid-A (crA) taxon, as an angular face, oblong orbit, strong gonion region, are not expressed, but the euryprosopy is referring to Cromagnoid character. We may consider, therefore, the cranium of Bárdos-farmstead at Csongrád Kettőshalom as a variation of Cromagnoid-A combined with Nordic characteristics. 21
