Yeah, so there are a lot of other bones at this site.

So we have both herbivores and carnivores.

So these include things like red deer, horse and auroch, which is like a large extinct cattle.

And these remains have often been butchered by humans.

So you see signs of cut marks and defleshing.

There's also human artifacts at this site.

So we have things such as perforated batons, which are these deer antlers with holes in them.

And you have needles.

You have napping tools.

So these are the things that people use to shape stone.

And of course, we have a really cool engraved human arm bone.

It's beautifully artistically engraved with this zigzag pattern.

Very, very cool.

But of course, we also have these human remains at the site as well.

And the human remains are highly fragmented.

We have over 200 small fragments of people.

But perhaps what's most exciting about or most interesting about these people is that most of them have signs of post-mortem human modification.

So this is our way of saying it looks like these people were cannibalized.

So for the faint-hearted youngsters, block your ears now, but we do see that they have cut marks, they have human teeth marks, chew marks, scraping marks.

So yeah, very clearly, these are the remains of people who have been eaten by other people.
