present limited knowledge of the prehistory of the Southeastern 

 United States, it is impossible to say with certamty whether these 

 parallel changes were due to evolution in situ, or to replacement of 

 one population by another of very similar culture and physique. 



From the data and interpretations summarized above, it would 

 seem that a careful evaluation of the total evidence to be found in 

 human skeletal remains can offer a valuable supplement to the arche- 

 ologist's analysis of the material culture. Yet, for the physical 

 anthropologist's analysis to be more than a listing of the skeletons 

 by age and sex, with statistical comparisons of measurements, and 

 tabulations of anomalies and pathology — as dull to write as to read — 

 adequate information on the archeological background is necessary. 

 We take this opportunity to thank Mr. Miller for generously supply- 

 ing us with the full field notes and archeological data that have made 

 these cultural interpretations possible.
