Cannibalism theory over bone find (UK)
Torquay Museum staff identified the arm bone as they documented animal remains discovered in Kents Cavern in Torquay.
The bone's marks are thought to have been made by stone tools and could indicate a ritual - or that the victim was devoured by other people.
The caves are the oldest Scheduled Ancient Monument in Britain.
The bone was first unearthed in 1866 by archaeologist William Pengelly, who spent 15 years excavating the cavern.
It was put into storage in the museum and "rediscovered" in December 2008.
