Description:
T7-I24. Male individual very robust in all bone pieces recovered. Although he was considered an individual with incomplete bone growth, the large sciatic cleavage was very masculine. Age: The individual was close to the completion of bone growth, between 18 and 25 years of age, closer to 25 years of age. Based on tooth decay, this would have been a young adult, between 25 and 35 years of age. For all these reasons, he is considered a subadult close to maturity, around 25 years old. Height: Based on the maximum length of the right tibia, this would have been between 162 and 164 cm.
Individual located beneath Individual I21. Individual I24 was found in the prone position, on the NE edge of the tomb. The orientation of the body was SE-NW (head-feet), parallel to the major axis of the tomb, with the left arm stretched out and the hand placed over the left coxal. The two legs are parallel, but with a wider spread at the knees than at the ankles, which are very close together. Therefore, it seems that the wrapping of the corpse should be ruled out.
Close anatomical connections on all recovered parts. Burial in densely packed space.
