Extended Data Fig. 2

The numbered squares were excavated by W.M. Hülle in the 1930s and we excavated the blue area between 2016 and 2022. The human specimen IDs are provided on the figure (Tab. S5, SI); the five specimens with an asterisk next to their ID showed no pairwise differences in their mtDNA. The artefact IDs are as follows (from left to right when more than one is present in the same square): sq. 51 – 2, 46 B; sq. 101/107 – 2, 31 pb, 2, 56 B; sq. 51 A/114 – 2, 32 J, 2, 36 J, 2, 37 J, 2, 52 B, 2, 54 B; sq. 144/154 – 2, 24 J, 2, 29 pb, 2, 42 B, 2, 43 J, 2, 59 J; sq. 164 – 2, 26 J, 2, 60 J, 2, 78 b. Artefacts marked with a B, J, pb and b are bifacial leaf points, Jerzmanowice points, pointed blades and a blade, respectively. The illustrated lithic artefacts were all found in the same layers and on the same day as or within a day of the excavation of the newly identified human remains from the same squares. Site map and artefact drawings are modified from Hülle17.
