Rathburn says this decaying condition was probably caused by a diet of I grains high in carbohydrates and high levels of grit from grinding the grain in stone I mortars. For the physical I anthropologist, the teeth are a r good genetic indicator. Teeth - are particularly useful in determining age at death of young people by which per manent teeth had not erupted at the time of death. The skeletal remains will be taken to the University of Saves COL The non-English speaking sailor had been left by his ship in a Brazilian hospital for 20 days after j he had been hit by a car while on Y leave. The shipping company gave t him plane fare and instructions to 3 catch up with the ship in Houston. Tung came across the sailor i.n the g airport where the exasperated I sailor was attempting to explain t his situation in Chinese to befud t dled authorities who were g preparing to send him back to r Brazil because he didn't have the proper papers to travel through the country.

After several calls to New York and Brazil, the problem of credentials was solved. After the proper papers were secured Tung helped the sailor to locate his ship, which was not in Houston but in New Orleans. "If Tung hadn't been there the man could have been sent off to Brazil and he doesn't speak Por tugese either," said Dr. Faust. Open 10-10 pm Mon. thru Sat. raukee 14 oz.
