|
Authors studied the human skeletons excavated from the tumulus of stone copin which was located at Seokgye village, Uelgye-ri, Uelya-myun, Hampyung-kun, Cholanamdo province and was thought to be constructed at the end of the 5th century or the beginning of the 6th century judging from the excavations. It was impossible to make up the skeletons because the skeletons were scattered and some of them have been missed or absorbed partially. So the characteristics of skulls and mandibles were mainly studied.
1. There were skeletons of 5 humans in the stone coffin. It is thought that the members probably consisted of a man at fifties, a woman at forties, a old aged woman, about eight year old boy and a young child.
2. The cranial indices of the skulls of the man at littles and woman at forties were mesocephalic and that of old aged woman dolichocephalic.
3. The cranial length-height index and the cranial breadth-height index of the man at fifties were orthocephalic and
metricephalic.
4. The palatal and palatal height indices of the man were brachystaphalic and orthostaphalic.
5. The abrasion of the occlusal surfaces of the teeth were severe, which was thought to be reflection of habit of eating of coarse food material.
