Description:
T2-I11. Adult male between the ages of 25 and 30. Age was estimated on the basis of the relationship between occlusal wear and age. The individual had a rather robust constitution with a very developed jaw and a marked linea aspera on the femurs. Height could not be estimated because no long bones could be measured. However, the length of the skeleton was 163 cm (Head-feet). No degenerative or pathological features were observed.
The individual was lying in prone position with the face fully resting on the floor of the grave, although slightly to the left. As for the upper limbs, the right was completely deteriorated, so it was impossible to know its exact position. The left humerus had lateral abduction at an angle of 45 degrees, as did the forearm, which was supine with the hand in the dorsal position. The legs, for their part, were fully extended parallel to each other with their feet resting on the dorsal surface. The body was not completely horizontal, but slightly tilted to the left, which meant that the entire area was at a higher excavation level.
The presence of the left elbow joint in a close anatomical position, as well as the jaw joint, seems to indicate that the decomposition took place in a densely packed space.
This individual was deposited with the head facing SW, with the right side on the individual I1 and the head resting on the individual I12. The left arm rested on the legs of individuals I7 and I8 and on the head of individual I6. On the other hand, their left leg was on the head of individual I3 and was under the feet of individual I2. The feet were under the feet of the individual I16.
