Hoyme and Bass] SKELETAL REMAINS 347 



poor condition. Part of the palate is missing; the remaining teeth 

 shovf second-degree wear, with six teeth carious, and at least three 

 lost. The left tibia has a swelling on the medial surface, near the 

 proximal end. This area of lesser density appears, in the radiograph, 

 to extend inward toward the medullary cavity. The surface is smooth 

 but porous, and there are a few vascular indentations leading from the 

 swollen area onto the surromiding surface. 



Burial 49 {USNM ^.S^/^r^) .—Adolescent, 15-18 years old; a semi- 

 flexed skeleton. Three of the teeth are carious, but none had been lost 

 during life. Pathological lesions occur in the frontal region of the 

 skull, and swellings on both surfaces of the mandible just below the 

 right second molar. Swellings also occur in the shafts of the right 

 clavicle, right humerus, left radius, right ulna, left femur, both 

 tibiae, and both fibulae. Again, most of these appear as areas of re- 

 duced density, of subperiosteal origin, spreading over the surface of 

 the bone, and invading the cortex. The leg bones are bowed. 



Burial 60. — Infant or very young child ; discarded in the field. 



Burial 61 {USNM ^5^574).— Female, 20-24 years old; a semiflexed 

 skeleton buried in the top of a large midden pit. Tooth wear is slight 

 (first degree), but four of the lower molars and at least two of the 

 upper teeth had been lost during life. Two of the remaining teeth 

 are carious. Both tibiae are swollen and bowed anteriorly. Their 

 medial and anterior cortex appears thickened but of decreased density ; 

 the surface is porous but smooth. 



Burial 62 {USNM S80875),—M.dlQ, 45-55 years old; this fragmen- 

 tary semiflexed skeleton had been buried in the top of a midden pit. 

 The teeth show first- to second-degree wear; six are carious and at 

 least three had been lost before death. 



Burial 63 {USNM 380876) .—Female, 20-24 years old ; extended on 

 the back, with the lower legs flexed. First-degree tooth wear is 

 accompanied by the loss of all 6 lower molars and 2 of the upper teeth, 

 and caries in at least 11 of the remaining teeth. Inflammatory changes 

 appear on both clavicles, at the right elbow (affecting humerus, radius, 

 and ulna), on the posterior surface of the left femur, and at the 

 midshaft of the right tibia. The cortex of the latter is thickened, but 

 of reduced density. 



Burial 64 {USNM 370877).— M&h, 17-19 years old. The skull of 

 this semiflexed skeleton shov/s slight occipital deformation. First- 

 degree tooth wear is accompanied by caries in five of the lower teeth, 

 but no teeth had been lost. Both tibiae are bowed anteriorly, and there 

 are areas of inflammatory change near the heads and at the midshafts. 

 The cortex is thickened, but of decreased density. In contrast to the 

 normal right humerus, the left has a septal aperture 11 mm. wide and 

 17 mm. long. The firet sacral neural arch is open.
