The bones of this woman were defleshed and crushed. They were burned and put in a small box before she was put in her final resting place.
A group of scientists have since found her remains: well-preserved
fragments of bones, likely of a young or middle-aged woman, uncovered
underneath the cave of Ille in the Dewil Valley, in El Nido. Direct
dating showed that her bones are between 9,000 to 9,400 years old.
