These are moderately preserved remains from the inhumation burial of an older middle adult (35-45 years) who was probably female.
The burial is from phase M: 995-1122 AD She was buried in an extended supine position in a simple grave oriented West-East.
Her teeth also showed Dental Enamel Hypoplasia, which are marks caused by interruptions in growth during childhood and are the result of some trauma, illness, or nutritional definciency during childhood. Her teeth also show caries and calculus, which indicate a high carbohydrate diet and poor oral hygiene.
Her bones exhibited Enthesophytes, which are growths on bones occuring where tendons connect to bone. They're often caused by repeated mechanical stress.
The burial is associated, by proximity, to SK93 and SK96.
