Digital Object 1988
Description:
T2-I06. Young adult male between 18-20 years old. Age was estimated on the basis of the relationship between occlusal wear and age, and the absence of degenerative disease. The poor state of conservation and the absence of whole long bones prevented the observation of robustness and pathological aspects. Also, it was not possible to measure any bone to estimate height. However, it was possible to measure the length of the skeleton, which was 155 cm (head - tibia distal end).
He was placed in a prone position with his face resting directly on the floor of the grave. It was in a very poor state of preservation and most of the skeleton was missing. In any event, it was possible to verify that the body was extended, but the final position of the upper limbs is not known. None of the anatomical connections could be observed, so the space in which it decomposed is unknown. However, it must have been a densely packed space like the rest.
This individual was deposited directly on the bottom of the pit with his head facing NW. He is practically under individual I17, so that his face was resting on the lower part of his back. The arm of the individual I11 rested on his head.
