Extended Data Figure 2

a, Profile of the west face of square 2C from the surface to the weathered bedrock on the floor of the shelter. Several charcoal concentrations and small lenticular features of ash and charcoal were interpreted as hearths. Roof fall flakes occur throughout and the only evidence of burrowing is the small, darker grey area on the left edge, which was traced across the excavation and identified as a rabbit burrow. This material was excavated separately to limit contamination of the main deposit. The numbers shown here denote the features shown in the profile drawing in b. The scale bar is marked with 20 cm units. b, Stratigraphic profile drawing of square 2C showing general stratigraphic features with feature descriptions and stratigraphic unit descriptions. c, Legend for stratigraphic profile drawing of square 2C. The scale bar is marked with 20 cm units.
