Environment
Lithology: claystone
Taphonomic context: cave
Habitat comments: "The cave is situated 5.5 m above the river flood plain, and is 32 m long in total. Bed 5 comprises light gray kaolinic clay; the rock is highly calcareous, pierced by micropores, containing limestone debris. The faunal remains represent a typical cave burial in terms of bone sets and their preservation state. Lithic artifacts consist of 21 items of knapped flint found only in two beds: 20 from Bed 7 and one from Bed 10".
