There is minor damage to the anterior head margin over an area proximo-distal by antero-posterior, and there was abrasion to the medial margin of the medial condyle which obscures the medial articular margin. In addition, there is matrix adhering to the intertrochanteric crest combined with surface bone damage. Left (No. ) The left femur is a complete bone with trivial edge abrasion to the condyles, and a loss of surface bone to the postero-proximal head over an area by mm. Morphology The Gough's Cave 1 femora are long, slender and relatively straight bones, with moderate muscular markings. This is combined with moderately sized articulations (Figs 6, 7). The maximum and bicondylar lengths of the two bones differ.
