Archaeologists working at the Atapuerca dig in the Sierras east of Burgos have unearthed fragments of another skull at the UNESCO World Heritage site.
Juan Luis Arsuaga, co-director of the excavations, announced on Tuesday that the discovery was made in the ‘Sima de los Huesos, - ‘The Pit of the Bones’ and that the skull is that of a hominid female, `probably in her teens. It’s the sixteenth such find at the site, and is believed to be more than 500,000 years old.
Another of the three Atapuerca co-directors, José María Bermudez de Castro, has meanwhile said that a study of two fossilised human teeth also discovered at the dig will likely be published in an international scientific journal early next year.
One of them could be as much as 1.2 million years old.
