Digital Object 1994
Description:
T2-I12. Young male, between 18 and 20 years of age, according to the occlusal wear and tear-age ratio.
The individual had a robust build with a markedly linea aspera on the femurs. Height could not be estimated because no long bones could be measured. The length of the skeleton was 157 cm (head - distal end of the tibia).
They were lying in an extended prone position with the face resting directly on the floor of the pit. The arms were extended parallel to the body in semi-pronation. The lower limbs were also extended and parallel.
Despite the poor state of preservation, the coxofemoral joint was found to be closed, which could indicate decomposition in a densely packed space. The lower limbs presented significant alteration, as they were under bone bundle P2 and individuals I13, I18 and I19, which prevented observing the state of the anatomical connections.
Individual I12 was deposited directly on the bed of the grave with the head facing NW, in contact with that of individual I11. On it, but in the opposite direction, individual I19 was placed, so that their hips were in contact. The right leg of the individual I13 was on the right arm of I12.
