Digital Object 1983
Description:
T2-I01. Subject lying in prone position with the face resting directly on the floor. The left arm had a slight lateral abduction with the elbow forming an angle of about 160° and the forearm in supination. The lower limbs were stretched with their feet resting on the dorsal surface. The strong compression recorded in knees and ankles allows us to hypothesize that the legs were tied.
The height could not be estimated due to the poor state of preservation of the remains, but the length of the skeleton was 164 cm (head-feet). No pathological or degenerative processes were identified.
In spite of the poor state of preservation, it was possible to observe the articular relations and anatomical connections, which maintained, in general, their original position. This allows us to infer that the decomposition took place in a densely packed space.
This individual was placed directly on the ground, facing so that his head pointed towards the SW. His right side marked the NW edge of the grave.
On its left half was placed individual I12; its left leg was under the feet of individual I2, and I2’s legs were over those of individual I16. Under I16’s legs was the head of the individual I3.
