Description:
T7-I36. Male individual given their general robustness. Discriminants also indicate this, both in the lower and upper extremities (left humeral epicondyle width). Age: young adult, with bone growth completely finished, between 25 and 35 years. Height: based on the maximum length of the femur and left tibia, it would have been in the range of 159 to 161 cm.

Individual located beneath individuals I24 and I15 and above I29. Individual I36 was located in the center of the tomb. The individual was placed in a prone position, parallel to the major axis, in a NE-SE (head-feet) orientation. All the preserved bone pieces were in an anatomical position and all the anatomical connections observed were in close connection. Burial in a densely filled space.

The knees and ankles were separated and the legs did not maintain a straight line in relation to the body, curving slightly towards the eastern corner of the tomb. It seems unlikely that the body was wrapped.
