Description:
T7-I08. Male individual by the shape and robustness of the skull (glabellar region, supraorbital region and inion) and the robustness of all the long bones recovered, especially in the arms, which show male sex discrimination in practically all the variables studied. Age: Young adult, over 25 years old, with bone growth completed but hardly any signs of arthrosis. For tooth wear, between 25 and 35 years. Height: Based on the dimensions of the long bones of the arms, it would be in a value close to 164-165 cm. The length of the individual in the tomb was 159 cm. For all these reasons, his height was estimated to be between 164 and 167 cm.
This individual situated under individual I25. Individual I8 is located on the NE side of the grave, forming part of the edge of the tomb, in a prone position, with arms stretched along the body and with the legs also straight and parallel. It is placed parallel to the major axis of the tomb, similar to individuals I4 and I7, and in the same direction as most of the individuals occupying the center of the burial, with a SE-NW (head-feet) orientation.
Close anatomical connections on all recovered parts. Burial in densely packed space. Although the legs were stretched out and parallel, the separation between the knees does not seem to point to the wrapping of the corpse, although as the feet were not recovered, this cannot be certain.
