Years: 1998, 2000 - 2004
Sampling comments: "wet screening of the matrix on a 0.5 mm mesh... not all the fine fraction could be sorted... A second collection (SBb) from the same level, but some twenty five metres to the East of the original site was made in 2005 from the fine grained upper part of the fossiliferous bed... The concentrate of this second collection has been sorted to the 0.8 mm fraction"
unspecified "large mammals" are also present
revised counts of the rodents based on an augmented sample are given by Bilgin et al. (2019), but new counts for the remaining small mammals are not given, so the original ones are used here
