Grave VIII represents a minimum number of 1 individual, but three clusters of articulated elements may represent up to 3 individuals.

A

articulated elements, identified as Grave I, Burial A, a primary interment.

B

articulated elements, identified as Grave 1, Burial B, which were directly associated with ochre layer and fox skull and humerus, remains of a primary interment or perimortem movement of torso and skeletal elements.

C

articulated elements of cranium and cervical vertebrae, identified as probable male.

D

articulated elements of left arm, gracile, identified as probable female.

E

articulated elements of right distal limb segment (Fibula and Tibia).

*Possible association of a single individual based upon size/morphology, but no direct articulation, moved after primary interment.
