Table 1 Synthesis of the morphological and morphometric characteristics of the cutting marks analysed microscopically, no: not observable; D: depth; W: Width; cranium F: adult individual; cranium I: immature individual. For the precise location of the areas analysed on the two crania, see supplementary information n°7 online.
