A human parietal fragment from the late Early Pleistocene Gran Dolina-TD6 cave site, Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain

The TD6-2 level of the Gran Dolina cave site (Sierra de Atapuerca, Burgos, Spain) has yieldedan assemblage of about 170 human fossil remains dated to > 800 ka (probably MIS 21) andassigned to the species Homo antecessor. In this study, we describe for the first time a largeportion of a parietal b...
