What bone was recovered was enough for detailed osteological analysis — the study of skeletal remains to determine biological characteristics of the individual.

The individual was identified as a biological male.

Skeletal sex determination for adults is based on multiple skeletal features — particularly features of the pelvis and skull — that differ systematically between biological males and females in human populations.

The osteological determination of male sex was later confirmed by molecular analysis, which recovered DNA from the remains and used genetic markers to establish biological sex independently of the skeletal features.

The individual was estimated to have been roughly 35 to 45 years old at the time of death.
