Kyoshun site was located at the western part of Notsuke district in eastern Hokkaido, Japan. From this site, the skeletal remains of two adult males which belonged to the Latest stage of the prehistoric Jomon period were excavated in 1976. The skeletons were accom-panied with the pottery fragments of Nusamai type and several stone tools. The attitude of the first male (K-I) in his grave was unknown, while the second male (K-II) was laid to rest in peace on his left side in crouching posture. The skeletons were mostly in fragments with the exception of the skulls which were in fairly good preservation. It was found that the skulls examined were characterized chiefly by depression of the nasion in profile and median protrusion of the nasal bones in horizontal configuration. The external forms, measurements and non-metrical traits of the skulls were given in Figures 1 to 4 and Tables 1 to 2, respec- tively.
