Event
In the northern part of sector D subject S25, a male infans-juvenis, walked slowly without additional weight, pulling a stick through the soft cave floor, towards the deep part of the cave. Five successive footprints belong to this event, forming one short trackway – right (S25-1), left (S25-2), right (S25-3), left (S25-4) and right (S25-5) (Figs. 26 & 27). The trace of the stick runs approximately straight in a western direction, which corresponds to the direction of subject S25. The trace is 61.2 cm long and 1.8 to 3 cm wide.
