The remains of the Skeleton - LeMoustier 2 - were excavated from Level J of the LeMoustier Lower Shelter by Denis Peyrony in 1914.
LeMoustier 2 has been aged at no more than four months at death on the basis of its long bone dimensions and concomitant stature.
The re-allocation of these parts to LeMoustier 2 removes this possibility, although the relative completeness of LeMoustier 2 make it very likely that this neonate was indeed buried, albeit alone, in another space and time.
