until long after the introduction of European domestic animals ; and accordingly 
there should be nothing surprising in the occurrence of beef bones in human 
graves, either with or without bones of the native animals. [P. 8.] 
Further search along the walls of the quebrada was rewarded by the dis 
covery of several other bone deposits whose history seems to have been almost 
as closely connected with recent changes in the contours of the gravels as was 
the history of the deposit found in 1911. Reference has been made to a mass of 
talus material at the foot of the northeast wall and about 60 feet distant from 
the excavation of 1911. In this material, by the side of the trail, human bones 
were found under conditions differing from those that obtained in the interment 
previously described. . . . Excavation at this place brought to light parts of 
two human skeletons, a fragment of a llama s vertebra, a piece of charred bone, 
a few podial bones of some small unidentified mammal, bits of charcoal, and a 
small flat piece of bone, about 1 inches long and one-half inch wide, pierced at 
one end. No pottery was found. The human material shows no departure 
from the modern Indian type of the region, and possesses little morphological 
interest. [P. 9.] 
In following pages Dr. Eaton refers to several other graves found 
in the walls of the quebrada which yielded human remains in much 
the same condition as those of the &quot; Cuzco man &quot; of 1911, and were 
associated with individual bones of animals, in one case even those 
of a horse. 
Some time after the return of the first Yale Peruvian Expedition 
from the Cuzco Valley, the human bones representing the &quot; Cuzco 
man &quot; were brought to the writer s laboratory in the United States 
National Museum for comparisons. Among 10 modern Peruvian 
femora selected at random, several showed close relation and one a 
practical identity in type and dimensions with the femur which 
formed part of the Cuzco find. The remaining bones were more or 
less fragmentary, but presented no characteristic whatever by which 
they could be distinguished from the more immediate Columbian and 
post- Columbian Peruvian bones. The part of the parietal, though its 
aspect was somewhat obscured by the soaking in vaseline to which 
all the specimens had been subjected, was seen to be still fairly 
&quot; green.&quot; In general, the state of preservation of the bones bore 
but little resemblance to that of any of the remains of early man in 
France or elsewhere.
