We believe that Site No. 19 is another site which should be con- 

 sidered typical of the entire region because of the large number 

 of skeletons represented and the general excellence of the material. 

 Even the distorted skulls which are so characteristic of this site are 

 doubtless entirely typical of the population as a whole and represent 

 a tribal custom in the matter of head binding. 



Site No. 20 



It has been pointed out in a previous section of this report that 

 the burials in Site No. 20 were not in individual graves or separate 

 interments but consisted of a large number of human bones thrown 

 promiscuously into a single pit. 



This being the case, there is, of course, no possibility of associat- 

 ing the bones or determining separate skeletons. Since, however, 

 many of the skulls and a large number of the other bones are avail- 

 able for measurements, they are here reported. The skulls are listed 

 and described as follows : 



Skull No. 1. — Adult male. Maximum length, 174 mm ; maximum 

 breadth, 141 mm ; cephalic index, 81 ; glabella-inion length, 165 mm ; 

 height, 143 mm; nasal length, 52 mm; length of orbit, 33 mm; 

 breadth of orbit, 36 mm; length of occipital foramen, 35 mm; 

 breadth of occipital foramen, 31 mm; sagittal-cranial arc, 359 mm; 

 circumference, 496 mm; bigonial breadth, 94 mm; length of ramus, 

 58 mm ; breadth of ramus, 32 mm. 



Skull No. 2. — Adult male. Maximum length, 175 mm ; maximum 

 breadth, 139 mm ; cephalic index, 80 ; glabella-inion length, 168 mm ; 

 nasal length, 55 mm; breadth of orbit, 40 mm; sagittal-cranial arc, 

 365 mm; bigonial breadth, 106 mm; bicondylar breadth, 111 mm; 

 length of ramus, 53 mm; breadth of ramus, 35 mm. The teeth are 

 slightly worn and show numerous cavities. 



Skull No. 3. — Adult male. Maximum length, 175 mm ; maximum 

 breadth, 142 mm ; cephalic index, 81 ; length of orbit, 36 mm ; length 

 of occipital foramen, 39 mm ; breadth of occipital foramen, 30 mm ; 

 sagittal-cranial arc, 358 mm; circumference, 503 mm; bigonial 

 breadth, 97 mm ; bicondylar breadth, 113 mm ; length of ramus, 55 

 mm ; breadth of ramus, 31 mm. Teeth only slightly worn. 



Skull No. 4- — Sex undetermined. Old individual. Bones en- 

 tirely ossified. Maximum length, 202 mm; maximum breadth, 130 

 mm; cephalic index, 64.35; glabella-inion length, 182 mm; height, 

 157 mm; length of occipital foramen, 34 mm; breadth of occipital 

 foramen, 29 mm; sagittal-cranial arc, 421 mm; circumference, 514
