dc.description.abstractA fossil human femur of Homo heidelbergensis from the site of the Sima de los Huesos (Atapuerca, Spain) was reconstructed from two main proximal and distal portions and numerous smaller fragments from the diaphysis. The use of an evaporative process to separate the bone fragments during their restoration represents an innovative approach in restoring paleontological materials and the intervention has resulted in the reconstruction of a complete femur. To avoid excessive manipulation of the reconstructed femur, a mold (negative) and cast (positive) were made of the restored specimen. This case study provides general protocols which can be widely applied to the restoration of paleontological materials from the moment of their excavation until they are deposited in a research center.
dc.description.abstractUn fossile de fémur humain de Homo heidelbergensis venant du site de La Sima de Los Huesos (Atapuerca, Espagne) a été reconstitué à partir des deux parties proximale et distale et de quelques petits fragments de diaphyse. L’utilisation d’un processus d’évaporation pour séparer les fragments durant leur restauration représente une approche novatrice en matière de restauration de matériel paléontologique et a permis la restitution d’un fémur complet. Pour éviter des manipulations excessives de ce fémur, il en a été fait un moulage et un tirage. À partir de cet exemple, il a pu être établi un protocole général qui peut être appliqué à la restauration de tout matériel paléontologique depuis son extraction jusqu’au laboratoire.
