Layers within the cave show a high density of Neolithic settlements, and trace life back to Middle Paleolithic and Mesolithic times. The team needed microscopic analysis to really see the engraving patterns (the only modification made to the stone). One side of the figurine has more complicated engravings, likely indicating it’s the front of the figure. The figurine lacks facial features and there’s no way to discern the intended sex of the figurine. Alongside the figurine, the team found remnants of stone fireplaces, bone, and flaked stones, but ground-stone artifacts are rare.
