ABSTRACT
Through time, the floors of Kria and Toé Caves were littered with human food refuse, much of it burnt and splintered as a consequence of cooking and consumption. Some of these remains found their way into the deposit, being those that survived the attention of small scavengers such as rats, and the processes of weathering. A sample of the preserved remains was recovered by our field team. Excavations in both caves produced large amounts of faunal remains, including bone, molluscan shells and bird eggshell. Much less commonly, botanical remains were recovered, including seeds and carbonised fruits.
