Fourty seven human skeletons dating Formative Period (2,000 B. C. A. D 0) were recovered from the Kuntur Wasi, Loma Redonda, Huacaloma and Kolgitin sites in Cajamarca region, Peru. The artificial cranial deformities, which can be classiffied into the tabular erect type, were observed in nine skulls from these sites excepting the Kolgitin site. The dental caries was frequently found in the Kuntur Wasi people though less frequently than in the recent Peruvians. The facial morphology is not homogeneous, and the aristocratic features are found in some skulls from the Kuntur Wasi and Roma Ledonda sites. The sexual difference of estimated stature is great in the Kuntur Wasi and Huacaloma people. The squatting facets are present in all tali examined, suggesting that the inhabitants customarily sat in the squatting position or walked up and down rocky mountains.
