MATERIAL AND METHOD The oateological material of 27 graves were excavated; of these, the skeletons of 6 males (22.2 %) and 13 females (48.1 %) were suitable for detailed metric and morphological examinations. In the males, 4 skulls and 5 skeletons, in the females 9 skulls and 11 skeletons could be studied. The distribution of material not évaluable is as follows; 2 males, 2 females, and 4 children (3 inf. I. and 1 inf. II

). The distribution as to age and sex is given in Table I. In establishing age at the time of death for the skulls, I considerad the rate of appearence or abrasion of the teeth as well as that of the ossification of sutures, with special regard to Vallois's classification concerning the time of ossification of the outer surface of the several sutures. For the skeletons, age was determined on the basis of surface changes in the fades symphyseos ossis pubis (FARKAS 1972). In age determinations, MARTINSALLER'

s classification was followed. Sex was determined by divers anatomical features. If the pelvic bones are also available, the presence or absence of the sulcus praeauricularis should also be taken into consideration - its presence is characteristic of the females. Absolute measurements were taken after MARTIN (1928), the classification of the absolute measurements and indices was made on the basis of ALEXEYEV-DEBETS

'

s categories (1964). In measuring the long bones, MARTIN'S and ALEZEYEV's (1966) méthode were applied; body height was calculated after BREITINGER (1937) in the males and after BACH (I965) in the females. The categorization of stature values was made after MARTIN. Taxonomic analysis was based on LIPTÁK'

s (1969 ) method.
