Description:
T7-I10. Male individual, based on the morphology of the recovered skull and jaw. The skull was partially reconstructed. It is very masculine, with large mastoid processes and large, robust supraorbital ridges (superciliary arches). The recovered jaw also has a very distinct mental tubercle.
Adult, over 25 years old. Age could only be estimated from dental wear and tear (between 25 and 35 years) and the lack of arthritic signs in all the recovered vertebrae of the spine, which had the appearance of those of a young adult.
Height: Unable to calculate. The individual was only partially recovered, only the part corresponding to the skull and upper thorax. Based on the orientation of the bone pieces recovered from the individual, the rest of the body would have to have been slightly curved to adapt to the contour of the tomb, however, it was not preserved.
Individual situated on top of Individual I11. Individual I10 was located on the SE side of the grave, forming part of the boundary of the tomb, in a prone position, with the head close to the South corner. It was placed perpendicular to the major axis of the tomb, and with an orientation, although not fully recovered, of SW-E (head-foot).
Close anatomical connections in all recovered parts, especially in the preserved cervical vertebrae. Buried in a densely packed space.
