Description:
T7-I26. Sex not determined, since the individual was a subadult. Age: subadult. Based on the stage of dental development and eruption, it would have been an individual between 9 and 11 years old. On the basis of the length of the long bones, this is between 9 and 12 years of age. Height: measured in situ was 132.5 cm. It is estimated that this would have been between 95 and 125 cm, depending on the sex of the individual.

Individual located under Individual I18. Individual I26 was on the NE side of the tomb, forming part of the tomb's boundary. Placed in prone, parallel to the major axis of the tomb, with a SE-NW (head-feet) orientation.

The anatomical connections are close in all instances, with the knees together and the ankles as well. Buried in a densely packed space. The separation between knees and ankles is very small, so we cannot rule out wrapping of the corpse.
