Description:
T7-I18. Female individual, based on the morphology of the recovered right coxal. The sciatic notch is very feminine. Most of the discriminants extracted from the variables of the postcranial skeleton are also very feminine.
Age: From the morphology of the pubic symphysis, this is an individual between the ages of 18 and 25, whose bone development is not fully completed. The ischial tuberosity is not yet fused, which is consistent with a non-adult individual.
Height: Based on the maximum length of the femurs and tibias, it is in the range of 148 to 150 cm.
Individual situated on top of Individual I13. Individual I18 was located on the SW side of the grave, forming part of the boundary of the tomb. The orientation of the body was SE-NW (head-feet). The individual was in the left lateral decubitus position, facing towards the interior of the tomb. The body was parallel to the major axis, with the feet near the southern corner.
All of the recovered bones were in anatomical position and in close connection. Therefore it is thought that they were buried in a densely packed space. The knees were together (normal in lateral decubitus) but the ankles were separated, giving rise to the belief that the body was not wrapped.
