Description:
T7-I14. Being a subadult individual, it was not considered desirable to determine the sex.
Age: Subadult. According to epiphyseal unions, this is a young individual, close to maturity, between 16 and 18 years of age.
Height: Based on the length of the femur with epiphysis, it would be between 161 cm (if it were a male) and 158 mm (if it were a female).
Individual located beneath Individual I13. Individual I14 was located on the SW side of the grave, forming part of the edge of the tomb. The individual's orientation was SE-NW (head-feet), in a prone position. The head would have been found in the southern corner of the tomb, although it was not recovered. The legs were extended, and close together especially at the knees and ankles, therefore the possibility of the wrapping or tying of the legs cannot be ruled out.
The anatomical connections are close on all of the recovered parts, including the metacarpals. It can be concluded that the individual was buried in a densely packed space.
