Physical Description

** Listed information is approximate

Estimated Age: 30-45 years old
Race: White
Gender: Female
Height: 5'1" to 5'5"
Weight: Unknown
Hair Color: Brown

Distinguishing Marks/Features: There are slight childbirth scars, but since the pelvis is very deep (a sign of good childhood nutrition) this probably means several births rather than just one or two. Solidly fused sterum (manubrium-corpus-xiphisternum one unit) with extra wide facet for rib #1.
Dentals: Available. Mandible not recovered. The teeth show no sign of dental care; 5 of 16 teeth were lost antemortem and each of the remaining 8 teeth have cavities. The lack of dental care suggests perhaps some local of protein in early childhood and poverty or other block on dental care in adulthood.
