His height, estimated from his skeletal remains, was approximately 1.60 meters — roughly five feet three inches, which was typical for European men of his time and place.

He weighed an estimated 50 kilograms or slightly under — lean, muscular, and by the physical evidence a man accustomed to sustained physical exertion in demanding terrain.

His teeth told a story of their own.

They showed significant wear consistent with a diet heavy in coarse grains, and multiple dental abscesses that would have caused him chronic pain.

He had cavities — a consequence of a diet with significant grain content, since the farming revolution had introduced starches and fermentable carbohydrates to human diets in ways that the hunter-gatherer diet preceding it had not.

He was, in his dental health, a representative of the agricultural revolution’s mixed legacy.
