The moderately robust skeleton belonged to a woman whose body height was around 169 cm, which is slightly above the statistical average of the time. She died at about the age of 35. Paleopathological analysis of the skeletal remains showed that the woman's health was not good. She probably had long-term headaches (caused by pathologies inside the brain), back pain (associated with health changes in the spine) and after an accident, a humerus fracture, in addition to arthrosis in the left shoulder joint and a partially paralyzed left upper limb. It is very likely that, due to her health condition, she required at least partial help from those around her in certain situations.
