three of the lower molars had been lost. The left ilium bears a facet 

 for an accessory sacroiliac articulation. 



Burial 89 {USNM S80868) .—FemaXe, about 25 years old; an ex- 

 tended skeleton showing extensive postmortem damage (see p. 382). 

 Tooth wear is slight (first degree), but decay is advanced, with 

 nine teeth carious and two already lost before death. Accessory 

 sacroiliac articulations are found bilaterally. 



Burial Ifi. — The flexed skeleton of an adult male, fomid in a pit 

 with the extended skeleton of a newborn or very young infant (burial 

 41 ) . Both discarded in the laboratory. 



Burial J(.2 {USNM 380869) .—Male, 35-45 years old; an extended 

 skeleton, possibly from an earlier population. Tooth wear is slight 

 (first degree), but all four first molars had been lost, and seven of the 

 remaining teeth are carious. The right upper second premolar had 

 rotated in its alveolus, possibly associated with the loss of the ad- 

 jacent molar. The patellae and distal femoral condyles show an 

 unusual pattern of articulation. The articular surface of the patella 

 is about 4.5 cm. wide and 2 cm. in length — about two-thirds the 

 usual length ; and the articulating surface of the anterior femoral con- 

 dyles is unusually narrow. 



Burial li-S. — The extended skeleton of a newborn or very young in- 

 fant ; discarded in the field. 



Burial li,!^ {USNM 880870) .—Femole, 19-20 years old; a semiflexed 

 burial in good condition. Although tooth wear is second degree, and 

 there are tartar deposits on the teeth, there is no caries, and all of the 

 teeth are present. The shafts of both fibulae, both radii, the left ulna, 

 and the left clavicle show slight swellings a little below midshaft. 

 In the radiographs, these swellings appear as areas of lesser density 

 originating on the surface of the bone, and to have been approaching 

 the medullary cavity. Two large holes in the vault may be of 

 pathological origin. A septal aperture appears on the left humerus. 



Burial 4S {USNM 880871).— Male, over 35 years old; the skuU of 

 this semiflexed skeleton was crushed when found, and could not be 

 saved. The bodies of the fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae, the upper 

 margin of the fourth lumbar vertebra, and the heads of several ribs 

 show arthritic changes. The neural arch of the fifth lumbar vertebra 

 is separate. The six-segment sacrum has become ankylosed with the 

 left ilium. 



Burial 4-6. — Adolescent 12-14 years old ; a semiflexed skeleton in poor 

 condition ; discarded in the laboratory. 



Burial J^7. — Child, represented by the skull and a single long bone; 

 discarded in the field. 



Burial IS {USNM 380872) .—M^le, 25-30 years old; the skull of 

 this semiflexed skeleton shows lambdoid def omiity ; the bones are in
