AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Derry analyzed more than one dozen burials, five men, two women, five children, and four unidentifiable. Of these burials only two were complete skeletons. Although he doesn't have positive evidence as to the 'race' of the skeletons he does state they don't differ from the predynastic or Southern 'race'. Four of a possible six tibiae show flattening of the tibia shaft or platycnemia. One man's skull also showed evidence of a depressed fracture injury.
