Abstract
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.
