No teeth were associated with the skeleton and there are signs of resorption of the alveoli. As very few cranial sutures can be observed, them having faded considerably, we can deduct that this is the skull of a mature adult. The mandible displays no alveoli, which indicates a severe case of antemortem tooth loss. In Kenyon’s report, skeleton F is referred to as that of a child. As there are additional skeletons in the material marked with an F it was important to keep in mind that this, evidently adult skeleton, was most likely not the one depicted on the sketch. However, we might presume that this skeleton lay in the vicinity of the skeleton marked with an F in the sketch, that is in the northern part of the chamber, opposite of the entrance. Hietanen, Linnea, p. 22-23. , MM 1956: HR: 07, 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. H11F: partly glued. The present material consists of three individuals. the various fragments item also consists of various epiphyses. 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 , Good.
