Description:
T7-I35. As this is a subadult individual, determining the sex was not considered, although all the discriminants of the right humerus (Ríos, 2005), return male results. Age: Based on the development and eruption of the teeth, epiphyseal junctions and the morphology of the vertebrae, between 15 and 17 years old. Height: Based on the maximum length of the left femur (with epiphysis), it would have been in the range of 162 to 165 cm.

Individual situated beneath Individual I26. Individual I35 was located on the NE side of the tomb, forming part of the edge. The individual was placed in a prone position, parallel to the major axis of the tomb, with a SE-NW (head-feet) orientation.

All the preserved bone pieces were in an anatomical position and all the connections observed were close. Burial in a densely filled space. The knees were together as were the ankles, but not as close to each other as the knees. Wrapping of the body cannot be ruled out.
