  Morphological 
  characters 
  

  

  Field 
  measurements 
  of 
  the 
  bones 
  indicate 
  that 
  the 
  people 
  were 
  

   of 
  medium 
  hight, 
  5 
  feet 
  7 
  or 
  8 
  inches 
  being 
  the 
  average. 
  A 
  few 
  

   skeletons 
  were 
  found 
  that 
  approached 
  6 
  feet. 
  That 
  the 
  race 
  was 
  

   stocky 
  is 
  shown 
  by 
  the 
  heavy 
  development 
  of 
  muscular 
  ridges, 
  es- 
  

   pecially 
  in 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  males 
  whose 
  bones 
  were 
  generally 
  large. 
  

  

  The 
  loose 
  sand 
  affording 
  good 
  drainage 
  preserved 
  the 
  bones 
  when 
  

   they 
  were 
  not 
  buried 
  directly 
  upon 
  the 
  clay 
  stratum 
  but 
  in 
  either 
  

   case 
  by 
  the 
  shifting 
  of 
  the 
  sand 
  or 
  through 
  some 
  other 
  agency, 
  

   most 
  of 
  the 
  skulls 
  were 
  broken 
  or 
  crushed 
  while 
  other 
  bones 
  were 
  

   in 
  a 
  much 
  better 
  state 
  of 
  preservation. 
  Some 
  of 
  the 
  complete 
  skulls 
  

   are 
  of 
  unusual 
  interest. 
  In 
  form 
  nearly 
  all 
  are 
  either 
  dolichocephalic
