Extended Data Fig. 5: Shaping marks on the treetrunk underlying object 1033 notch, BLB5.
From: Evidence for the earliest structural use of wood at least 476,000 years ago
Surface modifications on the treetrunk (Fig. 3) beneath and just beyond the notch (Fig. 3., Extended Data Fig. 4). Images described counter clockwise: white arrows highlight direction of striations, some V-shaped in profile, cutting across the grain from the edge toward the middle of the surface; a set of parallel transverse striations/cutmarks, with V-shaped profiles (white arrows) along ridge descending to a flat tapered surface; inset detail of the striations on the ridge crest; overview of the set of striations along the ridge; profile view of the flattened surface below the ridge; profile view of the ridge and break of slope onto the flat tapering surface which extends beyond the notch; plan view of the flat tapering end with transverse striations and cutmarks with V-shaped profiles (white arrows) interpreted as shaping marks.
