This comes from measurements of the leg bones, used in regression formulas to estimate living height.

He was stocky and muscular.

This reflects the morphology of the bones, the size of muscle attachment areas, the general robusticity of the skeleton.

He had multiple healed fractures.

The bones show evidence of injuries that had fully healed before death.

His burial is dated to around 1079 by the dendrochronology of the oak coffin.

His DNA shows substantial continental European ancestry.

The oxygen isotopes in his tooth enamel suggest childhood or adolescence in a colder climate than Barton-upon-Humber.
