8:30 MODERN SKELETAL POPULATIONS, SECULAR INCREASE IN STATURE, AND PROPORTIONS OF THE LONG BONES OF THE LOWER LIMBS", Tony Fitzpatrick * and Frank L. Williams, Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA 30303. Donated skeletal collections have grown at an increasing rate over the past decade. These collections provide information on modern populations which can be compared to earlier samples such as those in the Terry collection to assess secular changes, such as increase in stature. Males in the Terry collection (n = 417), born before 1943, were compared to those at the University of New Mexico and the University of Tennessee (n = 84), born after 1940. Average stature in males has increased around 8 cm. Bicondylar length of the femur has increased 1.95 cm on average, while the maximum length of the fibula has increased 1.6 cm. The ratio of fibula to femur length shows that there was a significant change in upper versus lower limb length (p .000). This result is similar to previous research on change in female lower limb proportions. 8:45 SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL ANALYSIS OF THE CERAMICS AND LITH-ICS AT THE BURNT VILLAGE, 9TP9 **, Vanessa N. Hanvey *, The University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602. The Burnt Village, also known as Okfuskenena, is located three miles west of LaGrange, Georgia. On September 21, 1793, white colonist burnt this Creek town and either killed or kidnapped the inhabitants. Harold Huscher of The University of Georgia excavated the site during the field seasons of 1966-69. No final report was published. Over the past year and a half I have analyzed pottery and lithics from the Burnt Village. Using GIS-based computer programs, I will specifically look at differing geographical distribution of pottery by time periods. In this paper I will present the latest findings concerning spatial and temporal analysis of this data. This research will make an important contribution to the final report for the Burnt Village.
