Of the 57 individuals, 34 were adults and 23 (40 per cent) were
adolescents or children. Among the adults the estimated ages of the
individuals range from 24 to 70 years, and nearly half were 50 years
or more. Young infants (first year) and fetuses are absent, having
either been buried separately, or, more likely, had turned to dust,
while the older, more substantial bones resisted disintegration. The
cemetery was obviously one that served during a limited period as the
communal burial place of a sedentary group of moderate population. The
determination of the sex was facilitated by the good development of
the sexual characteristics in the skulls, and by the presence of the
pelvic and other bones of the skeleton. The results show that the 34
adults were divided equally between the sexes, as might be expected
in the case of the remains of adults in the cemetery of a peaceful
population.[10]
