Cover Story: About 350,000 years ago, at the Devil’s Trails ichnosite, four, maybe five, hominins (Homo heidelbergensis s.l.) moved from the pathway at the top of an ignimbrite flow of the Roccamonfina volcano to the sharp slope and left their footprints, zigzagging down its slippery and muddy surface. In an attempt to infer the body size of the trackmakers, with the awareness that the results mainly depend on the technique of footprint measurement, the environmental context (substrate, surface slope, trackmaker gait, etc.), the equation used, and the slight dimensional differences between a fleshy foot and a footprint, we apply different formulas. Based on the best-preserved footprints, the average stature and body mass of each trackmaker approximately range from 152 to 180 cm and from 51 kg to 69 kg, respectively. View this paper
