The Young Woman Found In An Idaho Gravel Quarry — And The 12,500-Year-Old Burial That Complicated The Clovis Story
Her stature — 5 feet 2 inches — is within the range documented for other early western North American skeletal individuals of both sexes.
She was not notably small or large for her time.
She was a young woman in a community of people who ate what the landscape provided, processed it with stone tools, wore fitted clothing sewn with bone needles, and traveled through a landscape that left specific materials as traces of their passage.
She died at seventeen to twenty-one years old.
The cause of death is unknown and perhaps unknowable — there is no skeletal trauma visible, no obvious pathology, no sign of the specific event or condition that ended her life.
