THE COLLECTION OF OSTEOLOGICAL MATERIAL FROM MACHU PICCHU. 



Cave 30. 



From this cave, whicli was very near Number 29, we collected the skeletons of a woman 

 about thirty years of age and her dog-. The human skull (Ost. Coll. 3178) is a very good 

 example of the undeformed oblong highland type. Views of it are shown on Plate XX. 

 The dog was a medium-sized animal of the collie-like breed.

The human remains must have been placed in the contracted positinn as usual, and 

 nearly covered with earth, little more than the head and shoulders being left above ground. 

 The arrangement of the bones, when first seen, is indicated in te.xt-figure 25. The dog, 

 too, seems to have been nearly or quite inhumed. Few potsluTtls were seen, and no 

 charcoal or liones of food animals.
