摘要
On 13 March 1994, a fragmented, incomplete and highly fossilized, human calvarium was discovered in situ by one of the authors (I.B.) during excavations for the construction of a highway near Ceprano, a town in southern Latium, situated about 55 miles S.E. from Rome. The remains come from a clay lying below sandy volcaniclastic gravels whose age is estimated by K-Ar to be 700 ka. The shape and capacity (ca. 1185 ml) of the calvarium show that the hominid from Ceprano possesses several, but not all, of the features of Homo erectus. (C) 1996 Academic Press Limited
