The immature individual of 68.133.32 displays a probable healed fracture of the left transverse process of a thoracic vertebra. A well remodeled complete fracture of the midshaft of the left clavicle was found in the adult male of 68.133.87. A well remodeled depressed fracture approximately 7 mm in diameter is located in the right mid frontal area of the adult female of 69.2.2. A likely case of sharp force trauma is located on the posterior portion of the left parietal near the midline of the adult male of 69.5.20. The adult female of 70.4.35 shows a fracture of the midshaft right femur (Fig. 8). The fracture is well remodeled, with shortening and posterior displacement of the inferior segment. The parietals of the adult male of 70.4.83 show two small 5 mm diameter circular depressions on both sides of the anterior sagittal suture. They likely represent well remodeled depressed fractures. The adult male of 71.6.2 displays a likely fracture of the right distal tibia, resulting in considerable thickened and remodeled bone. The distal anterior surface is very irregular. The adult of undetermined sex of 71.8.8 displays a well remodeled Colles fracture of the right distal radius and right distal ulna, with posterior displacement of the distal segments (Figs 9 and 10). A well remodeled fracture of the distal third of the left radius (Fig. 1 1), with posterior displacement of the distal segment was found in the adult male of 71.24.10. There are various ways to express the frequency of trauma in this sample. The ratio of the number of adult bones (16) with fractures to total adult individuals (416) is .0385. The ratio of bones with lesions (17) to total individuals of all ages (593) is .0287. The ratio of the number of adults with at least one example of trauma (11) to the total number
