HUMERAL REMAINS (GC 1950-51, Level 12) (Fig. 11) Right This is a 96mm long fragment of a right humeral diaphysis, preserv- ing only the ventrolateral surface (Fig. 11). The distal end of a relatively smooth deltoid tuberosity is preserved. In the vicinity of midshaft (at the distal end of the deltoid tuberosity) the lateral cortical thickness is mm. (GC 86 18/21) (Figs 11,12) Right These are two diaphyseal fragments that conjoin to form a long portion of a right humeral shaft (Figs 11. 12).
