Description:
T7-I16. Male individual given the high level of robustness of all the bones present. Age: adult, based on tooth wear somewhere between 35-45 years. The wear is much greater on the front teeth than on the rest, so cultural use of the mouth as a third hand for some actions is not ruled out. The upper incisors are shovel-shaped. Height: Could not be determined.

Individual located on top of Individual I15 and under Individual I31. Individual I16 was located in the central zone of the grave, closer to the NE side without being at the edge of the tomb. The individual's orientation was SE-NW (head-feet). He was lying in a clearly prone position.

All of the recovered bones are in an anatomical position. The anatomical connections of the three bones of the right arm were close, as were the joints between the vertebrae and the ribs. So it is thought that they were buried in densely packed space.
