238 GAR SON : HUMAN REMAINS FOUND AT HOWE HILL, DUGGLEBY. 
accurately both groups of our series from Howe Hill Barrow. I need 
scarcely occupy time in comparing them with the Round Barrow 
skulls described by Drs. Davis and Thurnam, as these are all brachy- 
cephalic and of very different type, except in cases where crossing 
has occurred. 
Having established the fact, sufficiently clear I hope, of the 
identity as regards the physical characters of the Howe Hill 
specimens with the Long Barrow race, there remains to be con- 
sidered the question of the Archaeological evidence of their affinities. 
For this we have to refer to the abstract of Mr. Mortimer's notes 
which I made previously to examining the skeletons, so as to do 
away with the chance of any bias being produced on my mind by the 
specimens. In the outer layer of the barrow we find flint, bone, and 
iron implements ; British, Roman, and Anglo-Saxon pottery, and 
some of more recent date ; of animal remains those of dog, red deer, 
ox, and horse. There were well marked traces of this outer layer 
having been used for secondary interments, but neither these nor the 
various explorations which had been previously made had extended 
beyond this layer. Next there is a layer of Kimmeridge clay one 
foot in thickness, in which no relics were found, which, as it were, 
cemented in the interior mound containing the interments, which 
may be considered as the raison d'etre of the barrow. The inner 
mound consisted of two layers, in which there were seven deposits of 
burnt bones, with flint and bone implements and pieces of food vase. 
In the inner or core of the barrow were numerous cremated deposits 
extending to half its thickness, but fewer in number below that 
Towards the base line of the barrow and in the central grave we 
have the skeletons placed in different directions, chiefly lying on one 
or the other side, with the limbs drawn up towards the body. With 
them were found in this deeper part of the core, flint imple- 
ments carefully manufactured, worked flints and flakes, bone pins, 
some of which were burnt. With K, the primary interment at the 
bottom of the grave, was a semi-globular vase of Kimmeridge clay, 
but no cinerary urns were anywhere found ; the animal remains 
found in connection with the skeletons were those of fox (identified 
as such by Professor Newton), ox, deer, boar, and beaver. It is a 
matter of regret that the pieces of bones from the cremated deposits
