Ngesikhathi sokwakhiwa komgwaqo eScotland ngo-1987, abasebenzi bathola ngokungalindelekile ukungcwatshwa kowesifazane weNkathi Yebhulonzi. I-cist, uhlobo lwethuna elinamatshe, elifana nebhokisi, latholakala liqukethe izinsalela zamathambo akhe kanye nobhakha wobumba olunentamo emfushane, ucezu lwethambo lenkomo, nezingcezu ezincane zensengetsha.
Ukungcwatshwa kwe-Achavanich Beaker enyakatho yeScotland kwaziwa phakathi kwabavubukuli kanye nomphakathi ngokufanayo. Kuncane okwakwaziwa ngowesifazane, abacwaningi abambiza ngokuthi “Ava”, ngaphandle kokuhlaziywa kwe-anthropological. Wayeneminyaka ephakathi kuka-18 no-25 ngesikhathi eshona, futhi izilinganiso ze-tibia (ithambo lethambo) ziphakamisa ukuthi wayemude, cishe amafidi angu-5, amayintshi angu-7 (amamitha angu-1.71), ngokocwaningo olwanyatheliswa ku-inthanethi ngoJuni 22nd.
Ngokusekelwe ezimpahleni zakhe zamathuna, kungenzeka ukuthi u-Ava wayeyingxenye yesiko le-Bronze Age "Bell Beaker", eyayivamile eYurophu phakathi nalesi sikhathi futhi yaziwa ngezitsha zayo eziyindilinga zokuphuza izitsha zobumba.
Manje, isithombe esisha sinikeza amazwibela wokuthi lo wesifazane oyimfihlakalo kungenzeka ukuthi wayebukeka kanjani.
Abacwaningi basebenzise izikena ze-CT ezikhona zogebhezi lwekhanda oluneminyaka engu-3,800 ukuze bakhe ukulinganisa kobuso be-3D kwe-Ava. Ngeshwa, i-cranium ibishoda nge-mandible noma umhlathi ongezansi, ngakho ithimba lidwebe ama-CT scans wabantu abanikelayo abaphilayo ukuze liqedele isithombe sokugcina, njengoba ucwaningo lusho.
"Ngenxa yedatha ye-anatomical, izibalo nenengqondo, kube nokwenzeka ukwakha kabusha" ubuso bakhe ngisho nangaphandle kwe-mandible, umbhali wocwaningo u-Cícero Moraes, uchwepheshe wezithombe wase-Brazil umemezele kunhlolokhono. Uphinde wachaza ukuthi inhlanganisela yezimpawu zokuqina kwezicubu ezithambile, ezisetshenziselwa ukukhombisa umkhawulo wesikhumba, zasetshenziswa ukulandelela iphrofayili yobuso.
Ukusuka lapho, iqembu lenze "ukuguqulwa kwe-anatomical" komnikeli obonakalayo "okulungiswa kuze kube ugebhezi lwalowo onikelayo luguqukela ogebhezini lwe-Ava," kusho uMoraes, "okudala ukuthi isikhumba silandele ukuguqulwa, okuholele ekutheni ubuso buhambisane umuntu oyedwa.”
Ku-2016, i ukuhlaziywa kokufana kuka-Ava wamembula ngebala elikhanyayo, izinwele eziblonde, namehlo aluhlaza. Nokho, a ukulinganisa kobuso okuhlukile ka-Ava ngo-2018 wasebenzisa i-DNA yakhe ukuthola ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi unamehlo ansundu nezinwele ezimnyama, nokuthi "isikhumba sakhe (sasi) mnyama kancane kunamaScots anamuhla," kubhala abacwaningi ocwaningweni olusha.
Abacwaningi bacabanga ukuthi isimo sakhe nezici zobuso zingamenza agqame kakhulu ngaleso sikhathi.
