The excavation was done by Mr. K. WATANABE of Yamato High School, Mr.I. VVATANABE of Oobirin University and other members and by us. According to Mr. I. WATANABE, the age of these tombs is from later half of 8th century A.D. to the early time of gth century.16adults(8males, 3 females and 5 indeterminables), 5 children and 2 infants, 23 bodies in total, were discovered. No old man can be seen in the specimens, as far as the age is able to be determined. All the bodies not disturbed were buried in extended position and land on their back. Eleven adults(8 males and 3 females)Were able to be measured. The measurements were done after MARTIN (1928)except the prominence index of nasal root(50:F)in the skull after SUZUKI(1969), and they are shown in Appendix with the MARTIN's number.The face is broad, with the broad nose, the flat nasal root and long palate as other skeletons from Kofun. The frequencies of dental caries of permanent teeth is as much as 3.8%(9carious teeth in 237).The long bones are relatively long as other Kofun man compared with Japanese in other ages, especially long in the females. The inferior facet of tibia exists in all the six individuals which are able to be examined.
