Description:
T7-I29. Male individual, based on the recovered coxal and cranium fragments, very masculine. Age: Adult. On the basis of tooth wear, the closure of the cranial sutures and the morphology of the auricular surface of the coxa would have been between 25 and 35 years. Height: based on the maximum length of the right femur, this would have been in the range of 160 to 161 cm.
Individual located beneath Individuals I36, I30 and I42. Individual I29 was on the SE edge of the tomb. Positioned prone, perpendicular to the major axis of the tomb, with a NE-SW orientation (head-feet), situated in the burial area that forms the lateral edge, with the body adapting to the shape of the tomb.
All pieces in anatomical position and in close connection. The hips were separated, not in their anatomical position, although it was thought that this could be a postmortem displacement due to the excavation work. Buried in densely filled space. The legs are extended and parallel to each other, with a significant separation at the level of knees and ankles. It appears that the wrapping of the corpse would have to be ruled out.
