Mandible, occlusal view. namely os coxae and sacrum, are those of a male. The remains are, however, too incomplete to permit an assessment of either the stature or the population group, (ii) These fragments of tibia represent an immature individual. Burial 6, AP6060, and burial 7, AP6059. These remains are of two infants, AP6059 approximately 3 months old at the time of death, and AP6060 a little older, that is, between the ages of 6-9 months. In both specimens the cranial vault bones have been fragmented as well as somewhat distorted and provide no useful information. The cranial bases, maxillae, and mandibles have, however, been preserved in part. The temporal squame of AP6059 is foetal in type but shorter anteropos- teriorly than those of South African Negro infants of approximately compar- able age. The frontal processes of the maxilla of AP6060 appear to have been directed anteriorly, the interorbital region is wide and the anterior nasal aperture appears to have been very low. These features of the maxilla, interorbital and nasal regions are Khoisanoid in character. The mandible of AP6059 is small in comparison with South African Negro infant mandibles of about the same age (De Villiers 1973, 1974). Similar size differences are also apparent in the long-bone dimensions, which are smaller than those of South African Negro infants of comparable age (De Villiers.
