Description:
T2-I08. I8 is an adult male individual between the ages of 18 and 20. Age was estimated based on the relationship between occlusal wear and age, and the absence of degenerative joint disease. It has a very robust build, with a developed jaw and a very marked bicipital tuberosity. Due to the absence of numerous anatomical units and the poor state of preservation, the height could not be estimated. However, the length of the skeleton was 149 cm (head-feet). The poor state of conservation of the remains did not allow the observation of the presence of any pathology or bone alteration either.

He was lying in a prone position with his face resting on the left side. The upper limbs were in a very poor state of conservation; however, it was observed that the left arm was extended, but had some lateral abduction with supination of the forearm, which caused the hand to be in a dorsal position. The legs were stretched out in parallel, but had some opening, so that the legs of the I8 were between theirs.
The body was in a very poor state of preservation, which made it impossible to clearly observe the different anatomical connections. In any event, the presence of the hands and the maintenance of their different units in close connection made it possible to infer decomposition in crowded space.
I8 was deposited directly on the bottom of the grave with the head facing SE. They are situated between I8 and I17. On the right side, individual I7 was placed in parallel. The ankles were crossed by the left arm of I11. In contrast, his left arm, due to lateral abduction, was on the left side of the back and the head of the individual I17, and was therefore placed later.
