642 EXCAVATIONS IN AN ANCIENT 



of pottery. Diseased hip. This cranium has some approximation to the modem 

 form of English crania, and resembles herein cranium No. v of Sept. 1867, crania 

 xi and iv of March 17, and cranium No. i of March 23, 1868. 

 2 young men, i aged, i middle-aged, = 4 bodies. 



February 21, 1868. 



xxii. Old Romano-British man, large skull with long bones. Copper stain on left 

 ulna, immediately to N.E. of grave xviii, so that the Roman tiles found in taking 

 out the skeleton were supposed to belong to this skeleton. A good deal of 

 charcoal and decayed wood was found near the head, but not near the legs nor 

 pelvis. Of elongated type. Femur, 18-4; ulna, 10.3. The man, however, who 

 took out the tiles supposed them to belong to Anglo-Saxon No. xviii. In the 

 cases described by Wanner (* Das Alemannische Todtenfeld bei Schleitheim,' 1867, 

 pp. 13, 16; 'Archiv fiir Anthrop.' ii. 3, p. 356), Roman tiling was similarly 

 employed. In some cases the graves were, as here, so close as to have only a 

 single tile as a wall between them. See xxii of Jan. 6, 1 869. 



xxiii. Old woman (7 o\di man). Skull and long bones. Femur, 17; humerus, 12-2; 

 radius, 8.9 ; ulna, 9.5 ; stature, 5-4. This is a very old skeleton, and I think the 

 sex may be doubtful, but it is probably, from lower jaw's muscular markings, 

 a male. The forehead is vertical, but perhaps abnormally; the vertex is cari- 

 nate. Globose type. 



xxiv. Shall of old woman, with five coins ; one of Valens, and one of Constans I. 

 Flint, ball-shaped, chipped. Flat flint and Roman pottery. Femur, 15-6 ; 

 tibia, 12-4 ; radius, 8^4. Lower jaw nearly destroyed by water- wear. Elongated 

 type. 



XXV. Man, prime of life. Frontal suture patent. 



xxvi. Fragmentary cranium of old 'person; bones of young person of eighteen to 

 twenty wrongly assigned to it. 



xxvii. Long calvaria, man prime of life. Lower jaw a good deal water-worn, and 

 the long bones lost, perhaps destroyed by decay, 



xxviii. Infant. 



xxix. Child, first dentition complete. 



I child, first dentition complete, i infant, 2 men, prime of life, 2 old men, i old 

 woman, i old, doubtful of which sex, prob. male, i young person, 18-20, = 9 

 bodies, counting xxvi as two. 



March 4, 1868. 



i. Skeleton of Bo'nano-British woman, adult, of globose type, like No. xi of April i, 

 1868. Skull larger and more strongly made than most female skulls, and a nearer 

 approximation to male skulls of same type. Teeth considerably worn ; no wisdom 

 teeth developed. Orthognathous, with posterior sagittal furrow. Femur, 16-2 ; 

 tibia, 13-4; humerus, ii.2 ; stature, 5 ft. 8.io in. 



I adult woman. 



March 17,1868. 



i. Skull, with long bones and patellae, of a very strong young man, buried with frag- 

 ments of Roman pottery, black and red, and nail, with wood adhering to it, from 

 coffin. Femur, 18.5 ; humerus, 13-3. Skull, flat and broad, to be reconstructed. 

 Hyoid fully ossified. Elongated type. 



ii. Skull of old man, with femur, and tibiae, and nails near head. Of elongated, flat 

 type. Large. Very large bones. Femur, 18-9.
