~10% chance. If that was a thing we'd see more of it.

In some cultures, men holding hands is a very common thing, nothing to do with sex. In Syria, for example, when I went there last time, I saw on various occasions two men walking around holding hands.

If, at the point of his death, my father and I had been buried by a mudslide for 1500 years, they'd have found us embracing.  He died in my arms.

Very common in the Orient, too. Today.

This. I can't tell you how many times I've been hunting with my BFF Tyler and we spent the lonely nights huddled in our tent naked because our clothes were wet from fishing you see.

It was all very platonic, did we kiss? Yes but only because I had a snake bite on my lip and he was removing the venom.

The idea that the remains were male/female, they've found many, was premised on the fact that they were buried together in the other holes as well.

In the sense that holding hands in the grave doesn't prove gayness..well..yeah, ofc.  Turns out that holding hands in the grave doesnt prove hetero couple, either. This is a story about how the underlying assumptions important to the categorization and study of human remains, was wrong.

-I'd add that this shouldn't surprise us.  1.5k ago is well within the 50k year window since full modernity. Recognizably human ambiguity, lol. Maybe they were just hunting buddies....... Wink
