lm3 was buried lying on his back, with his hands joined together covering the groin. some of the bones show evidence of osteoarthritis and eburnation, and the teeth are well worn. based on this, it is likely that lm3 was quite old (around 50 years old) when he died. new studies show that, using the length of his limb bones, it is possible to estimate lm3's height at 196 centimetres (77 inches or 6 ft 5 in), unusually tall for an aboriginal.
