In 1984 altogether 83 red deer antler and 6 roe deer antler pieces were collected, though among them only 58 finds, find assemblages were numbered and registered topographically. The horizontal and vertical distribution of 52 pieces of the red deer antlers are found on Figs. 2-5 while those of roe deer antlers are on Fig. 12. 1985 excavation (05. 27-06.30) During the previous winter the "main profile" had damaged considerably, in some places large blocks had collapsed during the landslide. After the removal of the debris the excavation of the mining field was continued in a 7 m long, 1,0- 1,5 m wide, and 4,5 m deep block. Several sack-like formations, manifesting erosion were observed in the filling of the mining field. In their infilling, dissected by several narrow, stratified stripes of pebbles antlers (e.g. 59.), flint cores and flakes were found in a secondary position. Between 240-280 cm in the 85/1. surface of the upper A level the bottom of an "erosion sack" (pit) was observed. In this a prong of a tray (60.), belonging to the tray 64. of the 85/A.5 surface was found. According to the 1985 excavation record during the removal of the "last year' s slump" two wheeled pottery fragments a nut and a piece of a newspaper /sic!/ (without mentioning its date) were found in a torrential pebble "sack '. The quantity of the exploited earth is max. 47,25 m

3. Within the 1985 block five surfaces (A.3, 6-7, B.6, C.3) did not contain finds and four surfaces contained one find each with a recorded position. (Figs. 2-5). In 1985 altogether 56 red deer antlers and one roe deer antler were collected, and 40 pieces from them (59-99.) were numbered. The vertical and horizontal distribution of 42 red deer antlers are on Figs. 2-5.
