Prof. Joger discovered a bone-coloured roundish object on the surface. When he started to dig deeper he discovered a complete thigh bone with a length of 133 cm. Right next to it, a shoulder blade of 132 cm was discovered. Furthermore, the team found a vertebra. This was connected to other vertebra and eventually a complete spine was excavated. The soil which embedded the bones was hard but brittle clay and sandstone.
