The 172 late medieval individuals were examined by the anthropologist Bettina Jungklaus . Life expectancy is comparatively high at 29.1 years; however, that of women was lower than that of men. The death peak of the general population is at an advanced age. The child mortality rate of 30% is typical for medieval conditions. Women had the greatest risk of death between the ages of 20 and 40 of childbearing potential, while men were between the ages of 40 and 60. The average height of the population was rather low in comparison. Women were on average 1.54 m tall, men 1.65 m tall.
