The museum staff were able to reconstruct the original position of the bones only because of the statements of the peat. Thus were the skull and two bones in 2.5 meters in depth, but the majority of the bones in a depth of 3 to 3.5 meters and a distance of seven to eight meters. A further two meters to the east-south a thigh bone was found.
