Event Description

Without intersecting with his own footprint from the way into the cave, subject S3, a male maturus, has set his left foot (S3-13) immediately next to the left footprint (S3-12) (Figs. 26 & 30) described in event E30. This time the footprint points towards the Mesolithic entrance of the cave and likely results from locomotion at fast speed without carrying additional weight.
