Skeletal Remains From Platte And Clay Counties, Missouri

Description: 

The two skeletal series from near Kansas City, MO, differing in culture and probably also somewhat in age, are shown to be markedly different also in morphological details. The Mound series, which seems to be the older, is lighter in build, longer headed and less commonly affected by occipital deformity, probably higher headed (relatively) and has a much more pronounced transverse frontal curvature. Both groups seems to have been afflicted with syphilis. Photos. Sketches. Tables. Bibliography.
