Calcination grade (calc. grade) after Wahl [79]. For more detailed information, MNI rationale, and fire impact, see S1 Table and Fig 17 in S1 Appendix. Calc. = calcination; F = female; M = male; > means more indicative of male than female; ≧ means morphology tends to male or female, but sex identification is less reliable; + means could represent an additional individual; ++ means unclear adult age; words in parentheses refer to the general appearance of the bone; n.d. means not determined. Square relates to the excavation unit as shown in the excavation plan (Fig 2). For other abbreviations, see Fig 2.
