He gives a short outline of the demography of that particular part of the cemetery (Table 1). The biometrical parameters of the main metric data of the adult population has also been recorded (Tables 2, 3, 4, 5). He has found the population to be highly mixed anthropotaxonomically. He has pointed out the presence of the Mongoloid race within the population. The shovel-shape character of the upper medial and lateral incisors in the Mongoloid group has been observed (Fig. 2). By applying the observation of Dahlberg and others (Hrdlicka, Pedersen, Zubov) — according to whom the shovelshape is an essential feature of the Mongoloid great race — he assumes shovelshape character to be quite frequent with Mongoloid population, and this morpholigical character must be of importance within the two main taxa, i. e. according to the Europid-Mongoloid distinction and definition. In any case, the observation concerning 91
