Figure 3
Location and images of the observed osseous lesions on JS 31. Center: schematic scheme of JS 31′s skeletal preservation. Grey parts represent preserved bones, striped areas are missing bone or areas, full star = unhealed puncture, dash = drags traces of projectile impacts, line = cutmark, plus sign = healed lesions, time sign = healed fracture, full circle = healed puncture, yellow diamond = embedded artefact in a puncture, orange diamond = embedded artefact in lost bone. Box n°1: Projectile impact puncture on the left scapula of JS 31. a = red rectangle close up on the subscapular fossa showing the puncture associated with flaking and faulting. b = composite microscopic image of the puncture displaying the crushing of the bone in the lower border of the puncture (magnification ×40). Box n°2: Healed lesions on the right femur of JS 31. Red rectangle = healed projectile lesion, black ellipse = bone callus. a = red rectangle close up of the healed projectile injury with red and white stars as reference points for the magnified area b and c. b = microscopic view of the three embedded lithic chips marked by arrows. c = microscopic view of a bony bridge separating two geometric marks indicating the presence of two lost lithic chips (magnification ×50).
