Digital Object 2049
Description:
T7-I46. SEX: could not be determined, due to the scarcity of bone remains recovered.
AGE: young individual, close to maturity. Between the ages of 16 and 18, based on the morphology of the recovered vertebrae. HEIGHT: could not be estimated.
Individual situated beneath Individual I40 and above Individual I47. Individual I46 was lying in a prone position, perpendicular to the main axis of the tomb, near the southern corner. Their orientation was SW-NE (head-feet). Individuals I45 and I46 were in a very similar position, although the legs of I46 were most likely pointed to the center of the NE edge of the tomb, and not to the East corner, as was the case with I45. The heads of I45 and I46 may have been together.
The spine was found prone, in an anatomical position and with close connection of all the vertebrae. Burial in a densely filled space.
