ANALYSIS OF PRIMARY TAXONOMICAL CHARACTERS The nasomalar angle (Martin 77) shows smaller Mongoloid influence on 3 male skulls. Value of nasomalar angle is expressively Mongoloid-like. The zygomaxillar angle approaches the value of Mongoloids on 1 male craniéim. The value of dacryal subtense (DS) is near to the value of Mongoloids, on 1 male and 1 female skulls. The angle values of two female crania are intermediary between the Europoids' and the Mongoloids' group-averages. The value of simotical subtense (SJS) shows Mongoloid influence on 1 male and 1 female skulls. The values are intermediary on 2 male and 1 female crania. The value of dacryal index is near to that of Mongoloids, and on 1 male cranium is expressively Mongoloid. The value of simotical index approaches the Mongoloid average on 4 male and 2 female skulls. ( The value of the nasalspine gngle (Martin, 71^) is intermediary on 2 male crania. The values of the female series are Europoid-like. The average values of all of the above mentioned primary taxonomical characters, of both male and female series, are close to those of the Europoids. Consequently, the character-complex approaches the Europoids' properties. Analysing all of the primary craniological characteristics together, we can state that Mongoloid influence can be found (though of minor importance) on the male skulls of Inv. number 72. 27. 2., 72. 32. 2., 72. 38. 2. and on the female skulls of Inv. number 72.1. 2., 72. 7. 1. , 72. 48. 2. TYPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS 84 skulls were suitable for typological analysis, 22 males and 12 females. To the Nordoid group belong 14 persons: 1 males Í6 protonordoid, 8 males and 5 females are Nordoid. Mediterranean group; The Atlantomediterranean type is represented by 6 males agd 3 females. The Gracile Mediterranean is represented by 3 male and 2 female skulls. Cromagnoid group: 3 male and 2 female skulls belong to the Cromagnoid-A type. Cromagnoid-C type is represented by 1 male skull. Summing up the result of the typological analysis, it may be stated that 40. 8 % of male and 41.1 % of female crania belong to the Mediterranean group, and of the same percentage belong to the Nordoid group. The Cromagnoid group is represented by 18. 1 % males and 16. 7 % females. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS On the basis of the result of the typological analysis, our material shows similarity especially to the cemeteries of Kardoskút-Fehértó, Szatymaz-Vasútállomás, Békés-Povádzug, Orosháza-Rákóczitelep. Farkas-Lipták (1967) established that the Nordoid, Mediterranean and Cromagnoid types are dominant in the Arpadian age population of the South Great Plain. On the basis of the race-components, our material corresponds to the picture formed of the cemeteries of the Great Hungarian Plain. It is to be noted that the ratio of the Nordoid and the Mediterranean elements is equal in the material of Nagykőrös. We carried out the examinations by Penrose's method by taking 12 measurements (Martin 1, 5, 8, 9, 17, 40, 45, 48, 51, 52, 54, 55). We compared our material with 34 male and 29 female series of the Arpadian age. On the basis of the generalized Penrose-distance values, the male series of the cemeteries of Oroszvár, Székesfehérvár-Szárazrét, Pusztapáka (Kiskunfélegyháza), Csongrád-Felgyő, Orosháza-Rákóczitelep, Cegléd are closest to the male
