A summary of the above details shows that there are only six, pos- 
sibly seven, instances of more noteworthy jury, and of these three 
pertain to ribs (two in one person) and two to the wrist. These are 
very moderate proportions of traumatism, and show plainly that the 
people represented by the remains led unusually peaceful lives. 
As to disease, there is evidence of only four conditions, namely: 
Periostitis, osteoperiostitis, arthritis, and arthritis deformans; and of
