The lime generated a mold and you can see the heels , the legs, thighs, buttocks in that lime. We have partially recovered the skeleton. We have a primary burial, it is not that it was dug up and buried here. Everything that has to do with the analysis of pathologies and traumas will be analyzed in laboratories A bone sample is going to be sent for genetic analysis,” he continued.
