. Bulletin of the Natural Histort Museum. Geology series. Fig. 9 Left scapula, , natural size. 9A, ventral; 9B, lateral: 9C, secondary growth centres, this individual was also an adult. The left scapula appears to have come from a smaller individual, perhaps either a female or a juvenile male. All three of the preserved glenoid fossae have articular surfaces that are wide relative to their height (Table 5). especially those of and These two specimens have glenoid indices (100 X articular breadth/articular height) more than five () and three () standard deviations above the Upper Palaeolithic male mean index values. It is apparent from a comparison of their articular dimensions with those of other Upper Palaeolithic-associ- ated fossils (Table 5) that these inflated index values are due to the relative superoinferior shortness of their glenoid articular surfaces. Stringer (1985) saw the left scapula as possessing a bisulcate axillary border, a feature that is fairly common in Upper Palaeolithic specimens. This specimen does exhibit, in addition to a ventrally positioned sulcus, a sulcus dorsal of the infraglenoid tubercle and proximal axillary crest. It is evident however that the dorsal sulcus does not extend distally more than a centimeter below the infraglenoid tubercle, and for this reason I think the specimen is Table 5 Comparative scapular glenoid fossa articular dimensions.
