From here you can browse all categories of data. The different main bundles listed below are connected among each other. It is possible to wander from Spoors to Trackways to their creators (Subjects) and to the specific part (Subunits) of the cave, for example. Just try it out!
For searching Spoors filtering them with diverse parameters, see the submenus under "Searching Spoors".
Bundle | What it is about |

Spoor | A Spoor in the context of Aldène Cave is a footprint found in the Cave. |
Observation | Every fact about a footprint is generated by its observation. The Observation contains the measurements, condition assessments of the spoor, the inference making about the creator and the creation circumstances of the Spoor. |
Trackway | A Trackway is described as a sequence of footprints. |
Subject | Those individual human beings who left spoors in the cave are referred to as Subjects. |
Event | An Event describes activities in the sense of a coherent event carried out by one or more participants. In this context it is understood as a summary of traces of individual or several subjects in temporal, spatial and contentrelated connection with each other. |
Spatial Unit | The Spatial Unit is understood as a part of a Cave. An example is the "Paul Ambert Gallery" of the Aldène cave in France. |
