Very odd that no adult male skeletons were found....that would be so far though....as only a portion has been opened. There might be a segregation in effect and men buried seperately. There is no comment on the teenage male skeleton's state and as to whether he might've been ill in some way and had to be tended by the women...a case of waiting for forensics??.

Thinking more about the teenage male's skeleton....it is entirely possible that he was the heir apparent as leader of this "tribe"...and thinking that women and children would be spared perhaps he was disguised as a woman/girl.
Alternatively...perhaps there were catamites in Iron-age society...but only one in the tribe...a tad unfair???
