Event Description

Two more footprints were left by subject S4, a female adult, in sector C - left (S4-4) and right (S4-1). They are located in the eastern part of the sector close to the western wall, and their direction points towards the deep part of the cave. They can be considered as one trackway (Figs. 15 & 16), even if there are missing footprints in between. The walking speed was slow, and subject S4 did not carry any additional weight.
