i 84
B11 Infant, estimated age at 2-3.5 years based on the diaphyseal length of the ulna (106mm)using methods devised by Hoppa (1992) and by deciduous teeth formation of the maxillary canine (AC stage); Dm2 (at Coc stage) using methods devised by Moorrees, Fanning, and Hunt (1963). The skeleton is in poor condition and shows no signs of epiphyseal fusion or ossification. The skull was excavated and removed prior to the removal of the body due its location near the edge of the excavated area. The skull was brought to the lab three years ago in a large block of soil. Unfortunately it was not possible to preserve the skull due to the hardness of the soil around it and the fragile state of the bones. The soil was separated using a wooden stick, which exposed four small beads next to the hyoid bone and the axis cervical vertebra. Photographs were taken of the beads in the soil with the hyoid in place. The items were washed, labeled, and photographed. Refer to items i176, i177, i178, i179 for the description of these beads.
