Description:
T2-I19. Adult male, 18-20 years old. Age was estimated based on the relationship between occlusal wear and age and the non-eruption of the upper third molar. In general the individual had a build that was not very robust. No long bones could be measured, so the size could not be estimated. The total length of the skeleton was 161 cm.
The poor state of conservation of the remains did not allow the observation of the presence of bone pathologies and/or alterations.
The individual was lying in a prone position with the left side resting on the ground. The accumulation of bones in the P2 bundle, the superimposition of the bodies and the poor state of conservation, determined the general observation of the individual. It was only observed that the arms were extended parallel to the body, in pronation. The lower limbs were very disturbed, so could only be observed to be extended and parallel to each other.
Only the condition of the joint connections of the upper limbs, which remained in close connection, could be clearly seen. This again suggests that decomposition took place in a densely packed space.
This individual had the head oriented towards the SE. On it rested the right half of individual I18. The left arm was resting on part of the hip of I13, and the right leg was resting on the right arm of I12.
