At first i thought this was a joke, but apparently it is not. This skeleton, because of the way he was buried, suggests he was in fact of a different sexual persuasion. During the period he was buried, men were traditionally buried lying on their right side with the head pointing towards the west, and women on their left side with the head facing east. Another clue was that men were buried with weapons, hammers, etc, while women were buried with pots and jewelry. During the era he was buried burial rituals were very important so the possibility of it being a coincidence is out of the question.
