    Dēor-mōd

    WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?

    DIG:2003 #152
    A skeleton in the bowl hole graveyard

    What this skeleton told us: Evidence

    A 14 to 16 year old teenager/adolescent, based on bone development and fusion, and 11 to 12 years by bone lengths, no jaw bones with teeth were found. There are some destructive lesions on the left thigh bone (femur) in the area of the kneecap (patella) ligament attachment, suggesting an injury.

    Interpretation of the evidence

    The injury to the left leg might have been caused by strain on the ligament of the knee.
