Discussion: Fill of grave. ULP4 from from this unit fits well into the appropriate socket of 12863.B1 left maxilla. Its occlusal wear facet lines up well with the facet of the 12863.B1 ULP3, although the dentine of the two teeth is a different colour. The approximal facets of these two teeth fit together very tightly, with no gaps. In addition, there is a small approximal cej carious lesion on the 14518.B1 ULP4 which matches a gross mesial lesion on the 12863.B1 ULM1. The ULI1 socket on the 12863.B1 maxilla is broken, but the 12863.B1 ULI1 fits it reasonably well. For these reasons, the ULP4, ULI1 and URI1 from 14518.B1 are believed to be from the 12863.B1 skeleton (BB, SWH).
