| The smaller of these
characteristic bird-form figures was next to and vertically
beneath the larger one, facing in the same direction, at a depth
of roughly 20 cm. These have a hard leather-like texture,
but have been identified by some as likely being plant
fossil material, although this has been disputed by others.
Their composition has yet to be determined. These
were among the very first artifacts discovered at the site in
1987, along
with simple bifacially edged hand axes, a scraper, and a tool
preform.
