SKELETAL ANALYSIS

| Biological sex | 2007-08-06 | lr | Fe [Input: R815LR.j] |
| Method of estimating sex | 2007-08-06 | lr | Biological Sex was determined using sexually diagnostic characteristics of the pelvis and skull. The presence of the ventral arc, sub-pubic concavity, presence of preauricular surface, U-shaped greater sciatic notch, and a broad pelvis with overall gracile bones estimates this skeleton predominately within the female range. [Input: R815LR.j] |
| Biological age | 2007-08-06 | lr | Ad [Input: R815LR.j] |
| Data on biological age | 2007-08-06 | lr | Biological age was estimated through a combined approach of various aging techniques. Dental wear patterns visible on the mandibular molars estimates an age between 28-36 years (Miles 1962). Alterations of the pubic symphysis (Suchey and Brooks 1990) at stage 2-3 estimates this skeleton also within the range 25-34 years of age. The average of both methods suggests that this is a young adult 25-35 years at time of death. [Input: R815LR.j] |
| Estimated Stature | 2007-08-06 | lr | 145-154 cm (4'8-5'1) [Input: R815LR.j] |

| Notes on Pathology | 2007-08-06 | lr | Teeth are in excellent condition and display slight calculus build-up with medium periodontal disease. Carious lesions were visible on LM1 affecting the buccal root surface, LM2 at the enamel root junction on the distal end, and RM1 lingual side where a large abscess formed on the gum. Bone resorption was noted on the pubic symphyses, anterior surface with the pubic tubercle pulled out. The cervical vertebrae exhibit slight lipping, increased porosity, and Schmorl's nodes.

| Notes on MSM stress | 2007-08-06 | lr | Stress Markers (MSM) visible on both deltoid tuberosities (slight) with the right humerus showing a deep groove for the long head of Biceps brachii, ulna on supinator crest with more pronounced points on the right side, and both linea aspera of the femur with the left more rugged.

| Notes on burial context | 2007-08-06 | lr | i31 was found within primary context inside an elaborate subterranean vaulted mud-brick tomb. The dimensions of the pit suggest that it may have housed two burials with the body placed to the east end leaving a sizeable gap in the west. Possibly this individual was removed which correlates to other funerary structures in the area that were found empty along with the absence of the lower limbs of i31 where not one foot bone was recovered suggests postmortem activity such as secondary reburial occurred.
