The archaeologists cannot explain why these individuals were found deep inside the well...

I'm not a scientist, but I am betting it's because they sank instead of hovering in mid-air near the top.

As opposed to...say, five or six feet to either side, in the stone?LOL

However, they could have been added, say a few hundred years later, when the well was dry, just saying.
