The fifth sacral vertebra of the sacrum and part of the fourth are 

 lacking and, since the borders of the bone are broken, length and 

 breadth are not obtainable. Since all the segments are fused, the 

 individual was more than 25 or 30 years old. The cranial fragment 

 appears to be part of the occipital bone; one edge shows part of a 

 complex lamboidal suture. 



FEATURES OBSERVED 



The 118 features recorded during the excavation of Demery are 

 tabulated below in table 1. While most of the feature numbers were 

 assigned to pits in the houses and in the village area, a number of 

 them were used to designate houses, entrance passages, and other 

 structural details. These features are excluded from table 1 since 

 they are described in detail in the preceding text. Maps 7-9 give 

 a general picture of the major areas investigated at the site, and the 

 location of all features not in or immediately contiguous to the houses.
