The author hypothesizes that the Neanderthals who had used a particular campsite had inhabited the campsite year-round and were not nomadic. This is based on the the fact that discarded gazelle teeth at the campsite showed that the gazelles were hunted throughout the year. This was unlike what was found in a nearby campsite of a nomadic Cro-Magnon group, which contained teeth from gazelles killed only during a single season.

The author assumes that the only explanation for the presence of discarded gazelle teeth from gazelles hunted throughout the year is that the Neanderthals lived at the campsite all year.

If (A) does anything, it might support the theory that the Neanderthals stayed at the campsite by showing that Neanderthals did not need to follow a migratory animals around for food.

An exchange of tools has no clear relationship to whether Neanderthals were nomadic or stayed in the same place. Perhaps the exchange of tools happened when the Cro-Magnons happened to be in the area around the Neanderthals.

This provides another explanation for the presence of discarded gazelle teeth that showed gazelles were hunted throughout the year. The Neanderthals may have moved around, hunted gazelles as they moved, and then dumped the teeth they collected at one campsite.

This suggests that Cro-Magnons were nomadic. But Neanderthals are a different group and we have reason to think Neanderthals behaved differently from Cro-Magnons (the difference in gazelle teeth at each campsite).

This supports the author’s theory by showing that Neanderthals could have stayed at the site year-round and hunted gazelles year-round. This eliminates the possibility that gazelles were in the area for only a short time each year.
