Who condition these are in. Also dug out some more Homo foot bones from spot where I got Canconium & other foot bones on Jan 18, 1958. Dug up a new-born or month or so old Homo skeleton from 5' above Mt toe mark, in mound - no other bones associated. Also found, on far NE tip of rocks, a Homo skeleton just an inch or so below grass. No skull cranium but 3 bits of it found in front of rat holes along with part of clavicle (which fit others dug up with skeleton) and 3 or 4 meter tressels. Also upon cleaning dirt off of bones found I had an extra section from pelvis. This had a small (fresh?) burning spot on it and it is probable that the skeleton it belonged to had been taken by someone already & the bones that might have been left might have been burned by grass fires set on the small point of land. This point of land may have been just part of a more extensive ridge yards ago which was since been washed away by waves no artifacts found with this skeleton.
