Burial 26 ( USNM 380859) .—Male, 21-25 years old ; a bundle burial, 

 with a child (burial 26), an infant, and an adult (burial 27). The 

 width and roundness of the crushed skull suggest deformity. The 

 jaws are incomplete, but wear of teeth in the parts present is first 

 degree; and none of the teeth appear to have been carious or lost. 



Burial 26 {USNM 380860) .—C\\\U, 7-9 years old. The skull is 

 round and rather low, but shows no deformity. Six of the teeth, in- 

 cluding the four 6-year molars, are carious, and the abscess at the 

 roots of the left lower second deciduous molar seems to have ajffected 

 the unerupted permanent premolar below it. The roof of one orbit 

 is thickened and porous, and the ulnae, fibulae, and tibiae are thick- 

 ened and bowed. Parts of another child about this age are present, 

 so there are two atlases with this skeleton. The anterior arch of 

 one of these has failed to fuse in the midline. 



Burial 27. — Adult, sex unknown ; skeletal parts, including parts of 

 humeri, femora, tibiae, and two lumbar vertebrae. The tibiae wei-e 

 thickened and bowed anteroposteriorly. Discarded in the laboratory. 



Burial 28. — Child, 2^ years old ; an extended burial ; discarded in 

 the laboratory. 



Burial 29 {USNM 380861) .—Female, 25-30 years old; a semiflexed 

 burial, in fair condition, which may have come from an earlier popula- 

 tion. Although the skull lay face upward when found, the posterior 

 part of the vault is missing. Tooth wear is first to second degree, in 

 the parts of the maxillae preserved. Five teeth had been lost, and 

 caries in four of the remaining teeth had reduced the crowns to shells, 

 resulting in at least one atrial abscess. Vascular markings on the 

 inner surface of two right ribs suggest old inflammatory changes. 

 Both iliac blades show facets for accessory sacroiliac articulations. 



Burial 30 {USNM 380862) .—ChiU about 12 years old; a badly 

 damaged semiflexed skeleton, which may have come from an earlier 

 population. All of the 6-year molars are decayed. Retention of the 

 roots of both upper second deciduous molars resulted in malposition 

 of the upper second premolars. The frontal bosses are thickened, and 

 there are signs of healed osteoporosis in the orbits. The long bones 

 are normal. 



Burial 31. — Infant or young child ; a flexed skeleton in poor condi- 

 tion ; discarded in the laboratory. 



Burial 32 {USNM 380863).— Female, 25-30 years old; a semiflexed 

 skeleton. Tooth wear is hard to evaluate, for the early loss of the 

 molars concentrated wear on the incisors; the latter show third- to 

 fourth-degree wear. Six of the teeth, mostly molars, had been lost, 

 and at least seven of the remaining teeth are carious. The tibiae and 

 fibulae are thickened and bowed; the surfaces are porous and irregu- 

 lar, but smooth, except for vascular indentations. Similar changes.
