Thanks SteveH and a fool in paradise. 5,500 years old, adult and child, I wonder if there are not more remains of similar dating adjacent or nearby?

Me Uncle Thomas used to say “Jaaaayzus, Mary and Joooesph!” All the time (he was from County Mayo).
Now me Grammie, I was told, would smack her boys if they spoke w/a brogue—they were to speak proper to “get along in the world.”
Quite a departure from today’s hyphenated Americans.
And I have to add (because I can!) surein some in Sligo will have a good Wake for the lad...

County Mayo is it? And Sligo too? Ah, T’is grand they are. My people were from Country Waterford, Offaly and Belfast. Me Grannie Sarah(Sade as the Irish say) spoke with a broque and Sweet Mother of Mary was she a terror, tis true. “Come here to me’’ she'd say and POW! she'd give a wallop. “Ow Granny, why did you do that?’’ “You shut that gob ye bugger I know what you were tinkin’! “Now give me three Hail Marys and three Our Fathers or I'll give ye this!’’(that being the back of her hand) But she could be sweet sometimes. Me late mothers people were the “Lace Curtain Irish’’ they were. Nice, genteel and educated. Nice to be talkin’ to ye darlin’, God bless now and keep in touch with the Old Jmac.

There was an episode of Bones that had the same thing happen...and she knew gender immediately. Probably because the mouth was open.
