Description:
T7-I11. Male individual, based on the morphology of the skull and jaw. The skull is very masculine, with very pronounced and masculine supraciliary arches and inion. The remains of the jawbone were partially recovered. It has a very distinct mental tubercle that is also typically male in morphology. Age: Adult, over 25 years old. According to tooth wear between 25 and 35 years. Height: From the maximum length of the right femur, it would be between 155 and 157 cm and from the length of the long bones of the left arm, between 152 and 155 cm.
Individual located underneath Individual I10. Individual I11 was located on the SE side of the grave, forming part of the edge of the tomb. The arrangement is very similar to individual I10, although I11 has a more marked orientation towards the interior of the tomb, not towards the exterior, as was the case with individual I10. The position was clearly prone, with the arms seemingly stretched along the body. The individual was positioned perpendicular to the major axis of the tomb, and in an S-NE (head-feet) orientation.
Close anatomical connections in all the recovered pieces, very clearly visible in the preserved thoracic vertebrae. The individual was buried in densely packed space.
