Burial 66 {USNM .?5^57<5) .—Female, 24-26 years old; the skull of 

 this semiflexed skeleton is quite round. First-degree tooth wear is 

 accompanied by extensive decay and the loss of at least one tooth. 

 The lower third molars are unerupted or absent. There is a slightly 

 raised area on the anterior surface of the left tibia, just above mid- 

 shaft. It is difficult to determine whether an indentation in the center 

 of this area is of postmortem origin or associated with the lesion. 

 There is a small supracondylar process on the right humerus. The 

 neural arch of the fifth lumbar vertebra is separate. 



Burial 56 ( USNM 380879) . — Adolescent, about 15 years old ; an ex- 

 tended burial, accompanied by beads, in poor condition. Although the 

 third molars are just erupting, there is already caries in three of the 

 lower teeth. The sagittal suture is closed internally, the basilar suture 

 also appears to be closed; and the very long, narrow skull may be 

 scaphocephalic. The frontal and anterior parts of the parietal bones 

 are somewhat thicker than normal ; and all of the long bones, with the 

 possible exception of the humeri and femora, show inflammatory 

 changes. The thickened, porous bone is light in weight. 



Burial 57. — Male, over 35 years old ; flexed burial in poor condition ; 

 discarded in the laboratory. 



Burial 58. — Male, 22-26 years old ; the skull of this flexed skeleton 

 was crushed when found, and many parts of the skeleton were miss- 

 ing ; discarded in laboratory. 



Burial 59. — Adult ; flexed skeleton ; skull crushed and many parts 

 missing ; discarded in the field. 



Burial 60. — ^Adolescent; most of the trunk of this flexed skeleton 

 missing ; discarded in the field. 



Burial 61. — The extended skeleton of a newborn or young infant ; 

 discarded in the field. 



Bu/rial 62. — Adolescent; most parts of this flexed burial missing; 

 discarded in the laboratory. 



Burial 63. — Adult ; only the poorly preserved legs of a flexed burial ; 

 discarded in the field. 



Burial 61^ {USNM 380880) .—Mule, 20-22 years old; the skull of 

 this semiflexed skeleton shows slight occipital deformity and asym- 

 metry. Tooth wear is first to second degree, with considerable caries; 

 no teeth have been lost. Possibly associated with the caries are the 

 unusually large mental foramina. 



Burial 65 {USNM 380881) .—Child, about 8 years old; extended 

 burial. The skull is round, and tlie bone unusually thin. Five of the 

 teeth are carious, and there are large abscesses at the roots of the first 

 and second lower deciduous molars. 



Burial 66 {USNM 380882) .— Female, 20-30 years old; the skull of 

 this semiflexed skeleton is badly warped but long ; and the bones are
