The material comprises the skelatal remains of 4 Inf. I., 1. Inf. II., 3 Juvenile, and 26 Adult persons. The distribution per sex and age of the anthropological material of the cemeteries is tabulated in Tables I—IV. The unfortunate fact that the cemeteries have not been excavated in their entirety precludes any detailed paleodemographical study. As for the metric data, I followed MARTIN'S (1928) prescriptions and took the maximum 45 measurements of the brain cases and facial skeletons insofar as the state of preservation of the skulls permitted them. Cranial capacity has been ascertained by glassbeads. The characteristics and indices of the male findings from Vörösmart, Zengővárkony II, Fazekasboda, and Hidas are given in Tables V—VIII, those of the females from Vörösmart, Zengővárkony II, Kővágószöllős, and Kő in Tables IX —X, those of the children and juveniles from Vörösmart, Fazekasboda, Zengővárkony II, and Feked in Tables XI —XII. If merely one or two characteristics have been possible to read, owing to the fragmentary state of the remains, the measurements are given not in the Tables but in the description of the individual skeletal findings of the respective grave. Table XIII contains the mean values (M), variance (s 2 ), distribution (s), and variational range (v) of the main measurements and more important indices. The group-frequencies of some principal measurements and indices, derived by the application of the SCHEIDT (1927) and MARTIN grading, respectively, have been compiled in Tables XIV and XV. Stature was established by the use of WOLANSKI'S (1953) nomogram as applied to the longitudinal measurements of the long bones (Table XVI). Description of the findings The results of the craniometrical, craniomorphological, and paleopathological examinations (REGÖLY—MÉREI, 1960) are submitted, per each grave of the cemeteries studied, as follows : Vörösmart Grave No. 2. — Inventory No. 57. 114.
