The bones of the child — fragmentary and partial, as bones from this period typically are — represented an infant or very young child, most likely male based on later analysis.

The precise age at death remains somewhat uncertain, as determining exact age at death from infant skeletal remains is challenging: the best estimate places the child at somewhere between one month and two and a half years of age at the time of death, with most analyses suggesting the younger end of that range.

The artifacts found with the child were classified as Clovis technology — specifically, the large lanceolate projectile points with their characteristic longitudinal fluting (the channel flaked along the base of the point) that defines Clovis assemblages across North America.

The Anzick assemblage included both finished tools and tool-making debris, and many of the artifacts were coated in red ochre, as were the human remains.
