Grave 127 Fig. 127.1 Fig. 127.2 Age at death: Newborn, on the basis of teeth development (Fig. 127.2). Very fragmentary remains. The skull (squama fragments, pyramids, left orbit, basis) and most of the postacranial bones are represented: right clavicle, right and left ribs, vertebrae, humeri, forearms, hip bones, femurs, tibiae, fibulae, right hand (10 elements), left hand (9 elements, right foot (5 elements), left foot (2 elements). The bones are incomplete and curled up. The presence of some tooth crowns allows us to determinate the age at death, coincident with the birth.
