Description: DX/DY, secondary burial. Two skulls were found east of a bone pile containing the infra-cranial remains of two adults. DX lay on the right temporal bone facing ENE; DY stood on the base facing southeast. The post-cranial elements were assigned to a skull according to overall robustness. However, it was impossible to assign the existing phalanges to a particular individual. The skull is hyper-dolichocran showing biparietal thinning. Viewed from norma occipitalis, it is house-shaped with a prominent nuchal torus. Least nasal breadth: 10 mm. Body Height Estimation: 165,00 (Trotter & Gleser 1952). The cranial vault shows two holes with a diameter of 11 mm. One is located on the left frontal bone near the coronal suture; the other is placed close to the first one on the midpoint of the left coronal suture. The lesions show no signs of healing and probably represent perimortem punctures.
