Complete bone. Metatarsal 4 Right (No. ). Complete bone. Morphology The three preserved metatarsal bones of the Gough's Cave 1 right foot present an unexceptional morphology, with relatively smooth surfaces and distinct articular facets. The metatarsal 1 presents a strongly twisted medial cuneiform facet and a large but smooth M. peroneus longus tubercle. Distally, it has a relatively flaring surface for the lateral sesamoid bone, and a clear lateral deviation of the head indicating hallux valgus. Robusticity indices for the Gough's Cave 1 metatarsals (geomet- ric mean of the midshaft diameters versus articular length) are similar to Mesolithic means for the first and fourth rays (metatarsal 1: versus ±, N = 5; metatarsal 4: versus ±, N = 5). The third metatarsal, however, has a robusticity index () which is two standard deviations below the mean of a Mesolithic comparative sample ( ± , N = 5)..
