His growth abnormality was just getting started.
Interesting that he was buried face up.
And then there's this...
A few aspects of the burial were “interesting,” however, including the fact that the man was buried face-up, instead of prone, and with his head oriented north rather than the west, like most others interred in the mound.Those who buried him thought him to be from either a different tribe...or a different specie.

I know that it's common for archaic era skeletons to show signs of a violent life and death. That made me think of the hole as the cause of death.
Archaeologists are not always too careful either. We should keep in mind that the skull was apparently buried under something for a long, long time. Lucky it survived at all.
Would it really have been a great technical difficulty to have used a brighter color for the arrow?
Once a site is designated for excavation, the tools used wouldn’t produce this kind of damage. I suppose if the skeleton was found from a test hole it could be damaged. There would be very low odds of finding anything in a test hole but I do recall someone pulling an adze out of a test hole.
I guess you’ll have to take it up with them.
Nephilim Alert
For e last time, I wasn’t involved. The ACME Instant Gigantism syringe found near the skeleton is purely circumstantial evidence!
“It would interesting to see if that was from an ancient source, or something Robert Graves cooked up for fun.”
I would like to know that as well but it seemed rather buried in the story. Just one sentence, I believe in a letter written to Claudius. I have never seen a reference to it otherwise.
