Sampling comments: discovered by one of us (X.V.) in 2003... The studied material consists of isolated molars and premolars from three excavation campaigns (2003, 2009 and 2011) carried out by two of us (X.V. and G.G.)... They come from the washing, sieving and sorting processes of 220 kg of sediment... The teeth are deposited in the collections of the University of Poitiers, France"
