All samples taken from various researchers during the ten years of exposure are documented in the excavation database; most are displayed in the profile sketches of H€ andel et al. (2014). High-resolution **data** of MS (Hambach, 2010) and numerous luminescence ages (Lomax et al., 2014) derive from an almost 8 m thick section at North Profile 2005e6 (Fig. 2AeD). The South Profile 2005e7/10e11 on the opposite site of the excavation was very close to the double infant burial (Fig. 2B;Einw€ ogerer et al., 2006), but did not expose the lower 2 m of the LPS (H€ andel et al., 2014). From this profile,  published field descriptions and results of sedimentological and geochemical analyses from each visible GH. In the two deep trenches to the bedrock that were dug in 2009 and 2013/2014 (Fig. 2EþF), the horizons beneath GH 28 were labelled GH 50e62 (61 ¼ gravel, 62 ¼ bedrock) in sounding DE98-100 (West Profile, 2009e11) and GH 80e90 (89 ¼ gravel, 90 ¼ bedrock) in sounding AB94-95 accessible to us in autumn 2013, which was extended by 1 m to both east and north in 2014 (sounding A-C94-96).
