THE SKELETAL PARTS 



(After Klaatsch) 

 Klaatsch (1909),' as already noted, diagnosed the Le Moustier re- 

 mains as those of probably a male adolescent of about 16 years of 

 age. On account of the youth of the individual the measurements of 

 the bones can have but secondary value, unless they could be con- 

 trasted with normal modern youths of same age, which is difficult. 

 Many of the parts, moreover, are more or less defective. The main 

 measurements and characterizations of Klaatsch are as follows : 



cm 

 Femur, loft : Length max., approx 38.0 



Shaft cylindrical, its antero-post. and lateral diams. close to 2.5 



Extremities relatively large ; head large, diams 4.6-4.8 



Breadth max. of lower end approx 8.0 



Lateral condyle relatively strongly developed. 



Arching forward as in the Neanderthal femur. 

 [Also mild arching inward.] 



Linea aspera but slightly developed. 



No platymery. 

 Tibia, fragments only: 



Plump, short (not over 29.0 in max. length). 



Not platycnemic. 



Retroflexion of head must have been present. 

 Fibula, fragments : stout ; resembles that of Spy. 

 Humerus, incomplete ; Length, estimated 21.0 



Strongly developed. 



Deltoid tuberosity pronounced. 

 Radius, Strong arching, as in most other Neanderthalers ; Length, 



est 19.S 



Clavicle, Relatively slender, as general in Neanderthalers.
