Event
Also, at the southern edge of the sinter basin, the footprint of subject S23, a male adult, is found on the way into the deep part of the cave. With slow speed, subject S23's right foot (S23-2) came into slipping (Fig. 26). How he kept his balance is not documented in sector D. Subject S23 did not carry any additional weight.
