“…This fossil site has been well known to the palaeontological community since its discovery in the early 1970s (Freudenthal 1971) and the following studies (Abbazzi et al 1996;Arzarello et al 2007Arzarello et al , 2009Pavia et al 2012). It consists in a karstic network developed along the contact between the Mesozoic limestone and the Neogene calcarenite and filled in with continental sediment of various origins (Abbazzi et al 1996;Pavia et al 2010).…”

“…Thus the Pirro Nord sediments can be referred to the Matuyama reverse polarity epoch, post Olduvay event, from 1.78 to 0.79 Ma (Napoleone et al 2003;Tema et al 2009;Pavia et al 2012). Some authors (Arzarello et al 2007(Arzarello et al , 2009Pavia et al 2012) stated that the age of Pirro Nord should be between 1.3 and 1.7 Ma, but others (Masini & Sala 2007;Bertini et al 2010) suggest an age comprised between 1.2 and 1.5 Ma. Clearly, this debate is beyond the scope of our work.…”

“…Th e campaigns gave us the opportunity to collect a large amount of fossil vertebrate material, particularly from the P10 fi ssure.

“…The Pirro Nord site is located near the municipality of Apricena (Foggia, Southern Italy) and consists of a widespread network of karst structures opened in Mesozoic limestones of the Calcare di Bari Formation that were filled by silty, sandy sediments containing a diversified lower Pleistocene vertebrate fossil assemblage (Grassi et al, 1982;Abbazzi et al, 1996;Pavia et al, 2010Pavia et al, , 2011.…”

Taphonomic analyses have been conducted on the macromammal remains found in Sedimentary Unit 7 of the lower Pleistocene Pirro 10 site of the Pirro Nord locality in Italy. Recent field research has concentrated on investigating the fossil content of this site and the genesis of the karst network and its related deposits. In the present study, we distinguish between preburial and synsedimentary (during burial) processes in order to group the vertebrate remains into different taphonomic categories according to their various states of preservation, thus introducing the concept of taphorecord-borrowed from invertebrate taphonomy-into macrovertebrate taphonomy for the first time. Element quantification, evaluation of transport effects, and state of preservation of the skeletal elements were studied and all elements separated into four taphorecords according to their relative chronology. The use of taphorecords also improves the accuracy of the data obtained from the various methods of element quantification. The analysis of bone sorting and orientation indicates that the fossiliferous deposits originated by water flows carrying both fossils and sediments, alternating with phases of carcass accumulation and reelaboration of bones from previously deposited layers. The study presented here serves as a proof of concept for the use of taphorecords in analyses of fossiliferous deposits in caves. INTRODUCTION AND GEOLOGIC SETTING
