Interesting.

I wonder if the female artifacts found in the grave were, in fact, bridal gifts he was bringing to his intended when he died?

Archaeology is fascinating. You can utterly interpret the findings incorrectly because of your bias towards the culture of your upbringing, but without that cultural bias, you would not have any basis at all with which to interpret the findings.

I also wonder how examination of his teeth led to his initial identification as female. I didn’t realize that teeth show any particular level of sexual dimorphism.

It is a theory and probably not a very good one...............
