May 30 and June 6, 2024, 19 pictures

          Most images are approximately 768 x 1024 pixels in size, numbers in front of the picture descriptions are serial numbers of the original photo files. Metod Di Batista, Marjan Baričič, Igor Maksim Košir - Ičo, Marjan Juvan - Manč and Andrej Puc - Fofr took part in the field trip to the excavation site Radošca 3, which took place on May 30 and also from Članska vas (Radošca 3.1/16a).
          The purpose of the trip to Najdena jama was to check the motifs around the Baldachine and just below it, which had so far been overlooked. In Planinska jama the intentions were more modest - to see what else could be done, as far as the photography is concerned, around the entrance up to the locked gate. Due to two favorable circumstances this trip ended up better than expected.
