derive from 171 graves, only crania from 26 graves/ while merely postcranial material from 21 graves (Table 1). There are 52 males, 88 females and 78 individuals of undeterminable sex (22 grownups and 56 children). 35 male and 36 female skulls were suitable for detailed metrical analysis (43. 8% of the grown-ups). Postcranial material of 35 males and 39 females were suitable for the calculation of stature. We could determine the weight in 31 cases (17 males, 14 females). The taxonomic analysis could be made in 32 male and 16 female cases. Distribution of sex, age and preservation Types of material Age groups Male Female Undet. Total Types of material sex N % Infan

In the case of grown-ups the age at the time of death was established by using the VALLOIS' grades of the suture ossification of the ectocranial surface, the degrees of abrasio (after KÖRBER) and by considering the surface changes of the facies symphyseos ossis pubis as well as the occification of the epiphyses of long bones. In the case of children the eruption of permanent and deciduous teeth was considered (FARKAS 1972). We applied the MARTIN & SALLER (1957) age-group system. Sex was determined by the anatomical characters of the cranium and the skeletal bones. In taking of absolute measurements we applied the MARTIN-technique (1928). Measurements and indices were classified according to DEBETS's categories (ALEKSEEV & DEBETS 1964). Stature was deter-
