Digital Object 1987
Description:
T2-I05. Individual deposited lying in prone position with the face resting on the right side. It is in a very poor state of preservation due to the fact that the bundle of bones P1 was placed on it. It could only be observed that the body was fully extended, but it was impossible to deduce the position of the arms and feet.
The state of preservation made it impossible to see clearly the different articular connections, so it was impossible to record the degree of connection. In any event, the decomposition must have been in a densely packed space like the rest of the individuals, however, it is not ruled out that there were some slight movements, since the package of bones P1 was placed on it, which gave rise to empty microspaces that allowed the movement of the pieces. This individual was deposited on the floor of the pit with the head facing SE. On their right side rested individual I4 in parallel, while their legs rested on those of individual I16.
It does not have a very robust build with the linea aspera of the femurs being not very marked. The poor preservation also did not allow any of the measurements necessary to estimate the height, but the length of the skeleton was 168 cm (head-feet). No bone pathology or alteration could be observed.
