The results of examinations by the Penrose' method The "generalized Penrose distance" (D p 2 ) - produced by the joint calculation of 12 measurements gives the individual distances of each series from our cemetery (Penrose 1954) (Table 9). The males of Kardoskút-Fehértó come closest to the males of Cegléd-Nyúlfülehalom. The value of Dp 2 is 2.59, being the smallest. The distance of Orosháza-Rákóczitelep is somewhat larger, but it is relatively similar (4.27). The largest distance is presented by the males of Kiskunfélegyháza-Alpári út (13.24). In comparing the female series the Orosháza-Rákóczitelep is the closest to our cemetery (2.32). The females of Cegléd show a relative similarity (4.22). The females of Békés-Povádzug are the farthest from the males of Cegléd-Nyúlfülehalom (10.44). The special indices of Alexeeva Our results are given in the Table 10. The males of Nagykőrös and Kardoskút-Fehértó show some similarity to the males of CeglédNyúlfülehalom on the basis of the correlation of skull height-breadth-length and of upper face-skull height (Fig. 3). The females of Cegléd and Orosháza are the closest to our females, but it is only a relative similarity, it is not expressed (Fig. 5). On the basis of correlations of cranial height-orbital height and of nasal breadth-facial breadth the male series Kardoskút-Fehértó show the greatest similarity (Fig. 4). The females of Cegléd and Nagykőrös are the closest to the series of Cegléd-Nyúlfülehalom and Orosháza is not far, either (Fig. 6). We can state that the male series of Kardoskút-Fehértó (llth-12th c.) and the female series of Cegléd (1 lth-12th c.) are the most similar to our cemetery. The farthest series are Kiskunfélegyháza-Alpári út (males) and Békés-Povádzug (females). SUMMARY When summarizing the results of the two comparative examinations we reach the same conclusions. The male group of our cemetery presents the most marked similarity with the male series of KardoskútFehértó. At the females the situation is a little bit more complicated. On the basis of the Penrose method the females of Orosháza-Rákóczitelep is the most similar to the females of Cegléd-Nyúlfülehalom and the females of Cegléd is on the second place. By Alexeeva's special indices the females of Cegléd are the closest to our female group and the females of Orosháza are only on the second place, and even according to Fig. 6 they are only on the third place. However, we can declare that the results of the two comparative methods confirm each other. On the other hand, the male series of Kardoskút-Fehértó and the female series of Békés-Povádzug are the most different from our cemetery. REFERENCES Alexeev, V. P. & Debets, G. F.
