List of refitting units
Conjoining antler fragments form refitting units. The refitting units are recorded, according to identification numbers. A refitting unit consists of two or more conjoining elements. Each refitting unit is recorded with several attributes.

c: >Brow tine, basal fragment, left
d: Brow tine fragment
b: A
c: B
d: B
a - c: 10cm
c - d: 1cm
b: ?
c: Planum b
d: Planum b
The stratigraphic provenance of find b is not documented.
b: Crown base, right
b: A
b: Planum b
The stratigraphic provenance of find a can be given more precisely. The travertine sands of the diluvial fan are about 70cm thick in square 184. Three horizons were distinguished: the base is formed by c. 35cm medium-grained travertine sand, c. 15cm medium-grained, single gravel containing travertine sands follow, and the top is formed by c. 20cm fine-grained travertine sand (unpubl. data by D. Mania). Find a comes from the lowest horizon. In square 114 the diluvial fan is formed by 30cm laminated fine- to medium-grained travertine sands with single gravels. Find b comes from that horizon.
b: Crown tine, tip of the tine
b: A
b: Planum a
b: Crown base fragment, left
b: A
b: Planum b?
In square 173, find a came from the transitional zone between diluvial fan and shore terrace. The fine- to medium-grained travertine sands are 20-40cm thick here. Below, relicts of channels were found. In square 142 the fine- to medium-grained travertine sands reach a thickness of c. 30cm; below, relicts of channels were found. Faults disturb the square.
b: Crown Tine, medial fragment
b: A
b: Upper main beam fragment, right
b: A
b: Planum b?
The diluvial fan of square 123 gets thinner towards square 124. Fine- to medium-grained travertine sand forms a layer up to 30cm thick. Below, a c. 80cm wide channel, 30cm deep and filled with oblique laminated travertine sand, was observed. In square 124 the travertine sand of the diluvial fan is c. 20cm thick. Below, relicts of channels, 35cm deep, and filled with oblique laminated travertine sand were encountered. In the lower parts, almost no finds occurred; most finds were recovered from the middle part of the travertine sands. The exact documentation of the stratigraphic positions for finds a+b are missing.
b: Antler base fragment, shed antler, right
b: A
b: ?
Find a came from a situation that was described in an unpublished excavation report in 1985 by Mania as a pavement-like layer. Finds were encountered densely packed and overlying each other in multiple levels. Find b appeared at the edge of this feature. Covering travertine sands were 20cm thick. Below, depressions were encountered, filled with yellowish travertine sand, containing few finds. No documentation is available for find b.
b: Crown tine, tip of the tine
b: B
b: Planum c
Find b comes from a pavement-like accumulation of finds, lying directly on top of the loesslike sediment. Here, three plana were excavated; find b comes from planum c, the lowest one. The pavement-like accumulation of finds is outside the "pavement", lying more to the south-east. Find a is not registered; adhering sediment is Chara limestone, pointing to a probable origin in the Chara limestone horizon.
b: Upper main beam fragment
b: A
b: ?
b: Tine, medial fragment
b: A
b: Planum a
