A. The P>Q14-11 profile at the end of the excavation, seen from the angle between Corridor and Back Chamber. B. Zenithal view of the stepped base of the Back Chamber trench at the end of the excavation; the long-dash lines mark the contour of the cave wall; the stratigraphic depth reached in each grid unit is indicated. C. The P11>10 profile; the short-dash lines denote the stratigraphic succession’s two major discontinuities. D-E. The large, c . 50 cm-deep burrows penetrating layers Fa-Ja in squares Q-R/12-13 and L-N/13-15; elevations are in cm below datum. F. The base of the P11>10 profile seen in oblique view taken from the opposite edge of grid unit P11; note how, along the south and west walls of the trench, layer O formed a thick, hard crust. G. Meles meles (badger) left mandible (P12-194/sc358, layer Fa). H. Sample of the large concentration of hyaena coprolites retrieved in the NE corner of square P11 (P11sc907, layer M). I. Crocuta crocuta (spotted hyaena), right mandible (P11-865, layer L).
