Description:
T7-I30. Male individual given the general robustness of the individual, especially in the long bones of the legs and the morphology of the recovered cranial bones. Age: Young adult, between 25 and 35 years old. Height: based on the maximum length of the right femur and right tibia, it would have been in the range of 155 to 157 cm.
Individual located beneath Individual I3. Individual I30 was on the SE edge of the tomb. Positioned prone, perpendicular to the major axis of the tomb, with a SW-NW (head-feet) orientation. The body was found in a foreshortened position to adapt to the edge of the tomb, with the legs slightly curved to the north.
The legs were together, extended and parallel, in their anatomical position. There is practically no separation at the level of knees and ankles. Therefore, in this case, the wrapping of the corpse cannot be ruled out.
