The human remains were designated as locus 6 and located in the eastern corner of the chamber. The individual was very tightly flexed on the right side. Many of the bones were in anatomical position, but several were out of position: both femurs were in articulation with the acetabelum of the os coxae (pelvis), but the sacrum which should have been between the os coxae was about 10-15cm behind (to the south) them and moreover, above the os coxae in the matrix. The sacrum was fully exposed before any part of the os coxae were visible (they were underneath several other bones, including the sternum and ribs). The left humerus was in a possible anatomical relationship on top of the tibias (proximal ends together), but the ulna and radius had moved away northward about 6cm. Many of the vertebrae (particularly lumbar) were also in a possible anatomical relationship to the tibias, left humerus, femurs, and os coxae. The right ribs also appeared to be in the correction relationship to these other elements. However, there should have been many more left ribs visible in relation to the vertebrae and legs. Individual ribs were found near many other bones. The sternum and manubrium appeared to be out of anatomical position. The sternum was southwest of the ribs and vertebrae, near the sacrum. The manubrium was about 12cm north east of the sternum, closer to the ribs, and between the distal end of the right humerus and the proximal end of the radius. Additionally, one scapula and thoracic vertebra were completely out of articular position westward in the center of the chamber. The right humerus was also out of anatomical position, perpendicular to the tibias. In order to have gotten to this position from an original correct anatomical position it would have had to have moved underneath all of the ribs, tibias, and fibulas, and femurs since it should have been one of the lowest bones that the entire body was resting on. The only part of the skull that was present was the mandible, which was upside down, next to the right humerus and lower than most of the other bones. Several of the relationships between bones could be due to post depositional and decay processes, particularly since most bones were out of place to the northwest and this coincides with the downward angle of the body and the floor (the bones could have moved downward and outward as the body decayed.). However, the position of many of the ribs, the scapula, 1 thoracic vertebra, the right humerus, and particularly the mandible and lack of a skull indicate that the individual may not have been fully articulated when placed in the chamber.
