Description
Three skeletal samples from the Lu 25, Perry Site, were
selected on the basis of Archaeological evidence. These individuals
were observed for the presence or absence of seventy-eight
cranial and postcranial discrete traits. The frequency of
occurrence for each trait was determined for males, females and
combined sexes in each sample.
These incidences were used as the basis for statistical
comparison to determine biological distance. The teeth of the
individuals were also analyzed for caries and abcesses. All
evidence indicates one evolving populati on from a hunting and
gathering to an agricultural economy.
