Did you know... that Neanderthals in the Valencian Valldigna valley hauled young elephants up a 100-metre (330 ft) climb to the Bolomor Cave, for use as food?

Is "cut-market rabbit remains" a typo for "cut-marked rabbit remains"? If not, what does it mean? MPS1992 (talk) 01:32, 18 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
MPS1992, see the source: "Although habitual use of small, quick animals is rare in the MP overall, fascinating exceptions exist in southwestern Europe, usually involving rabbits (Aura et al.2002), a colonial burrower, and some birds. La Canelettes in France contains significant numbers of cut-marked rabbit and bird bones alongside large game remains (Cochard et al. 2012). Another exception is found in the early MP at Bolomor Cave in Valencia, Spain. Here cut-marked rabbit remains occur in relatively high percentages in multiple horizons along with some birds and many tortoise and ungulate remains (Blasco and Fernandez Peris 2009)." But I tweaked the wording some. Drmies (talk) 16:11, 26 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Oh I see--yes, that was a typo. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 16:12, 26 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
