Event Description

On the central axis of the northern part of sector C an isolated left footprint (S24-1) was assigned to subject S24, a male infans I (Figs. 23 & 25). Subject S24 was not simply walking slowly without additional weight in direction to the Mesolithic entrance, he was dragging his first toe of the same left foot behind and formed a line of around 45 cm length and 2.6-2.8 cm width into the ground.
