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.

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.
