the process of eruption (Stage 2) and several with p3 erupting (Stage 3). Since the anterior region of the mandible is more fragile than the posterior region and the deciduous dentition more readily lost than the permanent dentition, it is difficult to judge what age classes are present in the subfossil sample. Toothwear of the molars is one criterion used as an approximate method for ageing mammals. Four wear classes were established indicating increasing maturity: unworn molars with clearly defined cusps in juveniles and young adults, slightly worn molars in older adults, and worn and very worn molars which indicate old individuals. The results for the mandibular rami of
