AD-S04-08

A very prominent event was found west of the central axis in sector C. Involved are a total of 14 footprints, eight from subject S3, a male maturus, and six from subject S4, a female adult. The 14 footprints can be grouped into three trackways. Only a single footprint (S3-9) is isolated from the others. First, the two subjects, S3 and S4, have been documented walking together in the southern part of sector C. Each of them has left a trackway there: subject S3 a trackway consisting of five footprints - right (S3-1), left (S3-2), right (S3-3), left (S3-4) and right (S3-5), and subject S4 a trackway consisting of six footprints – left (S4-2), right (S4-3), left (S4-4), right (S4-5), left (S4-6) and right (S4-7) (Figs. 14-16). Subject S4 moved differently from normal walking patterns, because she walked mainly on the forefoot. Whether this reflects a handicap or a personal habit must be left open. In the further course of sector C, only subject S3 can be traced by one trackway consisting of two footprints – right (S3-7) and right (S3-8) (Fig. 19). The left footprint in-between was not identified. Another single footprint (S3-9) is included in this event (Figs. 22 & 23). It is a right footprint of subject S3. All footprints point into the direction to the Mesolithic entrance and result from a fast locomotion. An exception is the isolated footprint S3-9, because here no statements could be made about the speed. Furthermore, the footprints indicate that the two subjects S3 and S4 carried additional weight.
