Event
In the central area of sector C, 40 cm west of the central axis of the chamber, the five footprints of this event are found. They come from two subjects: S11, a female maturus, and S13, a male infans I, who already walked into the cave together in events E7, E8 and E9. At this point they walked together again, but in the direction of the Mesolithic entrance. While they were walking slowly when they entered the cave, they are now walking fast. In detail, subject S11 has left three footprints in a single trackway - left (S11-7), right (S11-8) and left (S11-9) (Fig. 23), subject S13 has left two footprints also in a single trackway – left (S13-12) and left (S13-13), while the right footprint between them could not be identified (Fig. 22). Both subjects did not carry any additional weight.
