Children presented the following anatomical variations: the remnant of sutura metopica (grave 99), a right side os praeinterparietale (grave 99), sutura mendosa (graves 61, 99), crista sagittalis frontalis (grave 61), os stephanicum (grave 50), irregular position of the teeth (grave 61). A weak torus palatinus occurred relatively frequently, in 50 per cent of the investigated cases (graves 10/a, 51, 64, 74, 99), and a weak cribra orbitalia in 28.5 per cent (graves 10/a, 72, 91/b, 99). As usual, the diverse anatomical variations appear generally cumulated in the individuals, mostly followed by pathological deformations. We may guess that the individuals showing identical variations were related to each other; the slight number of occurrences and the bad state of preservation, however, hinders us is gaining a real information as to the connection of the dead to each other. I should like to allude to the general characteristics of the constitution of the population in short. Analyzing the postcranial skeleton, mere observation induced us to establish the gracile, normal and robust categories of the constitution; we have found that the males of the population were characterized by the normal and moderately robust constitution, the females by the gracile one. The presence of rather soft, rounded forms especially on women, but sometimes also on men may justify the conclusion that their development, beside the basic racial characters naturally, was due also to the favourable influence of the urban way of living. TAXONOMICAL CHARACTER As to the taxonomical character of the series, i.e. 30 per cent of the adult population, the analysis of the sexual expressedness and of the morphometric traits has supplied the basic information; whereas the low variability enabled us to conclude to the homogenous character of the population.
