Excited to share our latest paper on the Marathousa 1 Middle Pleistocene site, this time on the lithic artifacts, by PhD student Dalila DeCaro. ✨
This article is part of our long-term, broader project investigating human activities and adaptations, as well as the paleoenvironment, in the Megalopolis Basin (Greece) throughout the Middle Pleistocene.
Stay tuned for more exciting results soon!! 🤩

Apidima Cave fossils provide earliest evidence of Homo sapiens in Eurasia
Katerina Harvati @kharvati , Chris Stringer, et al
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1376-z
Apidima 1 found to be ~ 210,000 years old, the oldest human fossil found outside of Africa
Apidima 2 found to be ~ 170,000 years old was a Neanderthal
Detailed comparative analyses of two fossil crania from Apidima Cave, Greece, indicate that two late Middle Pleistocene human groups were present at this site; first an early Homo sapiens population followed by a Neanderthal population.
