Hoyme and Bass] SKELETAL REMAINS 349 



in poor condition. Tooth wear is first degree, with extensive caries 

 (at least 10 teeth affected) ; and at least 3 lost. The shaft surfaces of 

 the tibiae, fibulae, and right ulna show slight inflammatory changes; 

 other bones may have been affected, but weathering and other damage 

 make further obsei-vations impossible. Eadiologically, the tibial 

 cortex appears thickened but of low density. 



Burial 67. — Infant ; extended ; discarded in the field. 



Burial 68. — Child ; discarded in the laboratory. 



Burial 69 {USNM 380883) .—M^\q, 40-50 years old; the skull of 

 this semiflexed burial is rather long, and the bone quite thin and in 

 poor condition. In accordance with the age of this individual, tooth 

 wear is second degree, at least 10 teeth are carious, and at least 2 have 

 been lost. Large suppurating lesions, attributable possibly to osteo- 

 myelitis, are found on all of the long bones; the palate is thickened 

 around its margins; and the great toe bones of one foot are fused 

 (pi. 101). 



Burial 70 {USNM 38088 Jf) .—MdlQ, 16-17 years old; none of the 

 bones of this flexed ( ? ) skeleton are intact ; the only observation 

 possible is that the bones are unusually light in weight. 



Burial 71 {USNM 380885) .—F&m^\Q (?), 16 to 18 years old; the 

 skull of this semiflexed skeleton is badly warped, but apparently long. 

 Tooth wear is first degree ; the teeth present showed neither caries nor 

 loss. Both humeri had large septal apertures. 



Burial 72. — Female, adult ; a semiflexed skeleton in poor condition ; 

 discarded in the laboratory. 



Burial 73 ( VMM 380886) .—Male, at least 35 years old. A projec- 

 tile point was embedded in the right humerus of this semiflexed 

 skeleton, and a clay pipe was found nearby. At least six of the 

 mandibular teeth had been lost during life ; the three remaining are 

 undecayed, but show second-degree wear. The left temporomandi- 

 bular joint and the talocalcanear joints of both ankles are arthritic; 

 the spine is too damaged to allow observation. Both tibiae are 

 thickened and bowed and the fibulae show extensive inflammatory 

 changes. 



Burial 7 4- — Child, 4—6 years old. The bones of this semiflexed 

 skeleton were soft and crumbly when found, and the skull had been 

 crushed; only the teeth could be saved, and these were discarded in 

 the laboratory after examination. 



Burial 75 {USNM 380887) .—MalQ, 25-35 years old; a partial 

 skeleton which seems to have been extended, with the lower legs 

 flexed. The long, undeformed skull is too warped for restoration. 

 The teeth show third- to fourth-degree wear, with extensive decay 

 and loss before death. The right temporomandibular joint is 

 arthritic ; and the right orbital roof, right clavicle, femora, tibiae, and
