Event
Also, in a relatively central position of sector D, subject S14, a female adult, slipped with her right foot (S14-9) in slow speed in direction to the Mesolithic entrance. Even though she carried additional weight, subject S14 managed to place both feet next to each other - left (S14-7) and right (S14-8) - and thus maintained balance just in front of a low but noticeable step, the eastern edge of the sinter basin, forming this interesting trackway (Figs. 26 & 29).
