Digital Object 1978
Description:
T1-I03. The subject in supine decubitus position with the face pointing towards the right. The upper limbs were stretched parallel to the body, with the forearms in semi-pronation and pressed against the femurs. The lower limbs were in an extended position, with the right leg rotated slightly outward. The absence of feet made it impossible to observe their position.

The height could not be estimated due to the poor state of conservation of the remains, but the total height of the skeleton was 120 cm (head - feet). No pathological process was identified.

Despite the poor state of conservation of the remains, it was observed that the articular relations and anatomical connections maintained, in general, their original position. This allows one to infer that the decomposition took place in a densely filled space. The shoulders had a shrunken morphology, with the collarbones being at a 90º angle between them and the midline. This caused the right shoulder to be in contact with the chin. The lower limbs were also recorded as being totally attached, suggesting that they may have been tied or wrapped.

This individual was deposited directly on the bottom of the grave, oriented so that the head pointed towards the NW. It was situated parallel to the right of individuals I5 and I6.
