adult individual of somewhat advancing years. Skull No. 2 indicates 

 a younger person. Now both the femur and the tibia attributed to 

 No. I show still, in proper light, traces of the union of the knee 

 epiphyses. This is incompatible with the indicated age of No. i, but 

 would fit much better with that of No. 2. 



It is strange that so many parts of the skeletons are missing. One 

 must surely assume that everything possible was done at the time 

 of the find to recover all the bones ; yet the state of preservation of 

 the parts present is so good, there are so many of them, and they are 



THE SPY SKELETONS 

 (As Identified by Hrdlicka) 



Skeleton Na. i Skeleton No. 2 



Sex — Weak male or a female. Male. 



Age — About 35 years. About 23 years. 



Parts belonging to it : Parts belonging to it : 



Smaller skullcap. Larger skullcap.

Lower jaw (complete except for Two pieces of lower jaw. 



damage to rami). 

 Sound loose teeth (probably). Loose teeth. 



The two weaker humeri. The two strong humeri. 



Two damaged radii. 

 Head of a weak ulna. The proximal parts of two strong 



ulnae. 

 Weak clavicle. Parts of the two scapulae. 



A nearly complete right and prox- 

 imal half of the left femur. 

 Complete left tibia. 

 Two fragments of fibula (prob- Lower fifth of right fibula, 



ably). Left patella. 



Right calcaneus. 

 Left astragalus. 

 Portion of sacrum.

so distributed as to the skeletons, that the possibility of some of the 

 missing parts, at least, having escaped detection and being still some- 

 where in the debris of the excavation, cannot be excluded. 



All the skeletal parts show an advanced state of mineralization. In 

 color they range from brownish to grayish, skull No. i representing 

 the former and No. 2 the latter shading ; the teeth, however, are white, 

 with yellowish roots, much as in crania from late burials. 



The two skulls are plainly normal specimens, free from disease or 

 deformation. 



In age. No. i was an adult of about 35 years, No. 2 had just reached 

 the adult stage.
