The human remains have not yet been studied but a preliminary report of Iravate Karve may be stated to complete the picture. "The capacity of the skulls, to judge from the length and breadth measurements, compares with that of the modern Europoid. The supra-orbital ridge, the well-rounded occiput showing the ruggedness of the muscle relief, the pre-nasal fossa and the intra-orbital breadth suggest primitive features. The slight prognathism of one skull with the smooth small rounded forehead suggests Negroid affinities which belief is strengthened by the smallness of the cross-section as compared to the length of the long bones of the upper and lower extremities."¹
