Remarks:

The cave was used & partly "excavated' (illegally) between U94 & U96.; U94 layers (L 14 & 18) are unclear; soil for Pails 46, 47, 48 came partly from unofficial excavations & partly from the earth used to cover & protect the partly unexcavated skeletons; many disarticulated bones in this area
