Digital Object 1991
Description:
T2-I09. Adult male individual between 20-25 years of age. The age was estimated on the basis of the relationship between occlusal wear and age.
The poor state of conservation and preservation made it impossible to observe the robustness of the individual, as well as any pathologies or significant alterations. The height could not be determined due to the absence of complete pieces and in a good condition, however, the length of the skeleton was 155 cm (head-feet).
This individual was lying in a prone position with the head resting on the right side. The upper limbs were arranged parallel to the body, albeit with some abduction, so that the individual I10 was in their arms. The forearms had complete supination, so the position of the hands was palmar. The legs were stretched, and like the arms, they had a certain openness. The feet were resting on the dorsal surface.
This individual, together with individual I10, was one of those with the poorest state of conservation, which prevented the observation of the state of any anatomical connection, except those of the upper left limb and the right hip joint, which were in close connection. This could be indicative of decomposition in densely packed space.
The body was deposited with the head facing NE and marked, together with the individual I10, the SE limit of the grave. Individual I10 was placed on top of them while individual I17's lower limbs were under their abdomen.
