The material from a 400,000-year-old find site is thoroughly presented, focusing on the microanalysis of flint artifacts and bones, with comparisons to other sites like Tata, Vértesszölös, Neumark-Nord, and Wallertheim. The flint analysis emphasizes use wear traces on artifact edges, along with polish and gloss effects. Notably, a correlation was identified between artifacts showing use wear and concentrations of wood. The bones were examined for cut marks and a variety of surface modifications, including gnawing by carnivores, trampling fractures, and sediment scratches. In addition to food processing cut marks, three bones displaying systematically engraved lines are particularly significant, representing some of the oldest known examples of non-utilitarian activities globally. The author interprets the site's use by Homo erectus as episodic. Fluvial import is deemed a key factor in the accumulation of much of the material found at the site.
