The distal articular surface is intact. The shaft is broken with oblique fracture, circumference 3. There are cut-marks on the lateral ridge of the distal tubersosity and carnivore chewing just proximal to the cut-marks, but they do not overlap and so their relative times of occurrence are unknown. There are extensive percussion marks on all surfaces of the shaft in the region of the oblique break, with a conchoidal scar posteriorly (on the right side of the break as viewed here). Finally, there is a network of shallow rootmarks on the shaft. A, x 1; B, x ; C, x Removed flakes: 1 specimen (1 equid) Peeling: 1 specimen (1 human) Femur: We only saw one fragment of human femur, although five individuals are apparently represented in the collection (Trinkaus 2000). The femur fragment we saw is a split fragment of shaft (no ends, circumference category 1, length category 1, Villa and Mahieu, 1991) with strongly developed linea aspera. It does not have cut- marks but it has percussion marks. These percussion marks are along the linea aspera, 3 grouped together. Fibula: There is only one fragment, which has been identified as human. It is part of the shaft having a circumference category 2 and length category 2 (Villa and Mahieu 1991). It has cuts near the end of attachment of the soleus muscle indicating dismembering activities, and evidence of breakage provided by an adhered flake depressed into the cavity. Tibia: There are nine human tibia fragments, but we only saw one frag
