Event
Subject S26, an infans I of unknown sex, got stuck in the mud with the right foot (S26-1), standing in a static position facing towards the Mesolithic entrance of the cave (Figs. 26 & 31). At this point in the southernmost part of sector D, some calcareous crusts have formed on the floor and it looks as if subject S26's foot had gone under such a crust and bumped the front of his toes. Furthermore, he did not carry any additional weights.
