3.4.2 Age at death
The age at death was tentatively inferred from various observations. Epiphyseal union in the long bones, pelvis and scapula indicates a minimum age of 25 years, while the morphology of the pubic symphysis points to an age between 35 and 50 years (Leopold & Schäfer 1998, 304-308; Byers 2005, 223-232).
