I was an archaeologist this summer. That's right, just for the summer, and I would say that this is quite an exciting find.
As for the whole possibility of these 'dwarfs' being kids, it is quite possible. It would be possible for the adults to bury their kids in selected areas, such as on an island, and bury the humans somewhere else, due to religious beliefs, or something similar.
Now, they have proven that these humans are indeed dwarfs, but the possibility of these being kids for sure passed through archaeologists minds.
Also, more on me being an archaeologist for a summer. I did field archaeology for a company in my home town this summer. I got the job because my friend is in archaeology, and he found out about the job, so i applied and got the job too. You actually learn a lot about archaeology when you do it for 50 hours a week. I'm really an astronomy nerd, though.
