Discussion: This skeleton represents a very young juvenile, with undescended adult teeth. Its head was facing north, on its left side-- but the top logn bones were left appendages, meaning that the body was on its right side and the head was twisted almost 180 degrees around. This would also explain the number of upper vertebrae found out of place. The body was placed under the steep overhang carved as part of [19634], though given the skeleton's state, it is difficult to imagine this intended to have any protective function.
