Description: BB/BC/BD. Three skulls were placed on their base east of a bundle of bones, which contained the post-cranial remains of at least three adults. The orientation of face was for BB to the ESE; for BC to the NE; and for BD to the ENE. BC: The cranium is well preserved; the mandible is missing. Probably from the same are fragments from the shoulders, pelvis, the left forearm, a fragment of the right upper arm, and both femora. The skull is small and mesocran. Only the right part of the maxilla is preserved showing a canine fossa. The skull displays a trepanation in the middle of the sagittal suture, crossing the sagittal sinus. It was performed by scraping technique, which created an oval opening of 47 mm in length and 34mm in width. The surrounding radiating fracture lines probably result from an underlying depressed fracture, and the trepanation may be seen as a surgical intervention to treat the injury. No signs of long-term healing. Body Height Estimation: 168,00 (Trotter & Gleser 1952)
