turned up last year, all from the same individual. This discovery prompted Clarke to send his colleagues Nkwane Molefe and Stephen Motsumi into the Silberberg Grotto — like Prince Charming,

looking for the girl whose foot would fit a glass slipper — to search for _in situ_ remains that would fit neatly onto fragments already found. Cinderella duly turned up, in the form of two

lower legs arranged side by side, as if the individual had been buried face-down in the breccia. Further work produced parts of an upper arm and the skull as illustrated. Clarke speculates

that the rest of the skeleton is still buried under breccia. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution Subscribe
