Multiple independent lines of evidence and comparisons with animal remains also play critical roles, as established in the Fontbrégoua site analysis.What evidence supports cannibalistic behavior at Fontbrégoua site?At Fontbrégoua, three clusters of human bones demonstrate high frequencies of cut marks and marrow fracturing consistent with butchery practices, aligning closely with patterns observed in animal remains.
