Human Remains
Bones of a small, stocky man
with very prominent eyebrows. Named

Tools and Culture
Habitation
The stones were better worked.
They were used for cutting and scraping.
With these stones, they broke bones for
eating marrow and dug roots of plants for
nourishment. They made awls, tools of
bones, and attached triangular stones to
sticks to use as spears. They protected
their bodies with skins joined with thin
animal tendons. These men wore
necklaces, buried their dead, possessed
a language, and lived by hunting.
