Figure 28: Dorsal surface of the 3rd and 4th sacral segments - note that it is incompletely fused.
Figure 29: Photograph showing unfused neural arch on the posterior surface of the 1st sacral segment (indicative of spina bifida occulta).
Figure 30: X-Ray of the inferior region of Harry's skull.
Figure 31: Possible perimortem fractured pattern on an unidentified bone.
Figure 32: Close-up photograph showing localised surface porosity on one of the upper limb bones recovered. This may have resulted from antemortem disease processes rather than taphonomic processes.
Figure 33: Close-up photograph showing taphonomic effects on one of the tibia recovered.
Figure 45: X-Ray of tibia (center) and two fibula. Note the degradation of the proximal and distal portions of each.
Figure 46: Photograph showing dental wearing on a molar tooth belonging to the mandible of Tom.
Figure 47: Photograph showing the reconstructed skull fragments belonging to Tom.
Figure 48: Chart showing recovered and identifiable remains belonging to Tom.
Figure 49: Chart showing recovered and identifiable remains belonging to Dick. Blue indicates material recovered during the 1986 expedition. Note that there is no overlap between skeletal remains recovered during 1986 and subsequent years. This strongly indicates that the remains are from the same individual.
