splinters, as well as many reindeer antlers. LQ34was found near the base of this layer, with its endocranial surface upwards, in contact with a bison horn core and a large reindeer antler (Fig. 2). These lower levels are attributed to the MIS 4 on the basis of the fauna (Chase et al., 1994; Debe′nath and Jelinek, 1998). The aim of this paper is to describe these two new hominin skull fragments and to compare their morphological affinities to samples of Neandertals and modern humans. The specimen LQ34 is of special interest as it retains a large part of the occipital bone, which contains important information about Neandertal affinities.
