pottery in another case nearby (but no rodent bone in
the second case). I think I convinced them that the rodent
bones were from owl pellets and were not rodents
living in the caves (tecoz!) or rodents being eaten by
diures (ahdon + elegina?!). They gave us a sack of
bones from station 8 (which also contains human artifacts).
They showed us their sifting technique and it is obvious

They had 2 zigzaga mandibles of different sizes.
Then we drove on to the Rio Cujin Mangano and
camped in our old site along the river above the bridge.
I put out traps about a mile down the road towards
confluencia, a mixture of mouse species, big Sherman,
and small Sherman, plus the 50-ft drift fence.
Halvib semi-arid and moth grass, bucky-grass, moco,
colelia sprosogana
rostraquarica (E?braca?) hoolberry, a couple of cyprus,
anup,
a couple of other trees + bushes. Saw mara? ? droppings,
no two signs or Pantherodon holes. Weather here sunny.
One large bat at dusk.
Three or more caribou roosted in the cliff down camp.
nov. 23 Rio Cujin Mangano. Night clear, a touch of front. All day clear.
Anta's traps had 11 cho longi, 3 achiscompi, and 7 arygompi.
my live had 7 cho longi, 3 achisompi, and 1 arygompi.
Total 32 mice of 3 species.
Anta did a rough sorting of bones from the anthropologists
at Trofol Cave No. 1, Cafa 8 (Cafa 1 is shallow, 8 is deep, but even
8 has human artifacts). There were 4 upper toothrows and 3+ right
