Adult + subadult: male/female?The remains of skeleton E were some of the most well preserved in the collection, lying farthest from the chamber entrance. The cranium, femoral head and pelvic girdle all suggest that skeleton E is female while the cranial sutures and auricular surface testify that she most likely died young, perhaps around her twenties. The iliac crest shows a deep groove, demonstrative of an active or not yet complete fusion, indicating that the age estimation must fall in between 17 and 23 years old. Particularities of this skeleton are also a metopic suture, some porosity of the parietal, occipital and temporal bones as well as bilateral septal apertures. Additionally there is a fusion of two bones in the foot (phalange two and three). Both humeri of skeleton E displays septal apertures. Grave goods associated with skeleton E are one toggle pin (23), one scarab (32) and comb fragments (31) (Kenyon 1960:473) Hietanen, Linnea, p. 121, MM 1956: HR: 06, Excavated by Kathleen Kenyon 1952-58. The material was bought from the english archaeological expedition 1956., In connection with the purchase in 1956, the bone material from Jericho was said to consists in total of 12 individuals. Nine adults and three subadults. The investigation 2006 indicates 38 individuals, 26 adults and 12 subadults. The discrepancy in numbers is most likely due to an earlier confusion which may have taken place after the purchase. The investigation 2006 concluded the amount of individuals due to each archaeological designation, that is H11A-H, J-M, while the former conclusion is based on the whole trench H. Future analysis may therefor decrease the total amount of individuals. H11E: partly glued. The present material consists of three individuals. Two adults and one subadult. The skeletons depicted in this sketch (Kenyon´s) do not seem to entirely reflect the material at hand. The remains received for analysis are for example not always marked in agreement with the documentation. A commingling of the remains of several tightly packed burials is to be expected and can in many cases be remediated, but in this case many elements, notably skulls, have evidently been packed or sorted in total disregard of the sketch. In the tomb sketch each letter clearly represents a single individual, but in the material multiple individuals seem to be represented for each letter. Hietanen, Linnea, p.10 The minimum number of adult individuals was therefore estimated to a total of nine whereas the subadult remains are at least five. However, the material has been sorted to indicate that the remains comprise those of 10 individuals, and will thus be treated correspondingly. Hietanen, Linnea, p. 14 , Moderate-poor.
