...their haste they printed upside down. S.A.O. gunmen murdered Commandant Andre Boulle, chief of gendarmerie at Sidi-bel-Abbas, just as he was about to take a plane to Paris to be commended for exceptional service. As the steamer Ville de Bordeaux was about to cast off from Bone harbor bound for France with a returning force of security police, a hidden bomb killed four, including the young son of a policeman...
...near the city's imposing Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, European teen-agers gleefully urinated on the body of another slain Moslem. Near Algiers, a French jeweler was "executed" as a traitor by the S.A.O. because he planned "to flee the country when it was in danger."

Many of these strata constitute "occupation layers": buried within each are flint and bone objects that accumulated as the layer slowly accumulated during geological history. Some of the layers represent a year's occupation of the Abri Pataud; others contain the relics of 10, 20 or more years. A few yield no bones or man-made objects for they were laid down while...
