Notes

Shaft G 2178 X contained "confused bones of three skeletons" (see unpublished manuscript page HUMFA_GN2_K10_ApxCemEch_p087; two are visible in photo HUMFA_C3296_NS). These seem to correspond to PMAE_59286, PMAE_59288, and PMAE_59293. Peabody Museum record for PMAE_59286 notes that it contains remains of more than one individual; these extraneous bones appear to have been registered as PMAE_59287. It is unclear whether they properly belong with PMAE_59288 or PMAE_59293, or whether they belong to a fourth individual.
