GARSON : HUMAN REMAINS FOUND AT HOWE HILL, DUGGLEBY. 239 
so numerous in the barrow, were not preserved, as it might have 
been possible to determine from them whether they were human or 
belonged to domestic or other animals. From these data I think we 
have undoubtedly to deal with the remains of a Neolithic people 
interred in an age before metal had been introduced among them. 
The bronze age, which succeeded the stone period, is totally unrepre- 
sented in the barrow, from which I think we may conclude that a 
considerable interval of time elapsed between the primary interments 
in the inner mound and the secondary ones in the outer layer. 
Although the various flints and other articles found have not, as far 
as I am aware, been submitted to the examination of a well-known 
acknowledged expert, the full description which Mr. Mortimer has 
given us of them leads me to the couclusion that the Archaeological 
evidence corroborates the conclusions I have arrived at from my 
examination of the skeletons, and shows that the people interred in 
this barrow are identical with the Long Barrow people. 
Note. — Since this paper was written I have calculated the 
stature of the skeletons by Rollet's formulae for the femur and tibia, 
which are almost identical with Topinard's latest for these two bones. 
The stature from the humerus is calculated from Topinard's latest 
revised formula.
