Coordinate basis: based on nearby landmark
Time interval: Late Pleistocene
Unit number: 3
Unit order: below to above

Environment
Lithology: not described
Taphonomic context: cave,human accumulation
Archaeology: stone tools
Habitat comments: "took place in open air under small shelters... Brown-red sediments with blocks"
lithic assemblages are present throughout the section, so presumably are found here
"the main accumulator agent" throughout the section was humans and there are "more or less deep grooves, flake scars and notches" on "numerous isolated teeth" and other bones from this level that are interpreted as "Confidently of anthropic origin"
