The find-site (1973) on the Solo River, Java, of a calotte of Homo erectus, with Middle or Upper Pleistocene faunal associations. The calotte belongs to an advanced grade within Southeast Asian populations of Homo erectus, perhaps slightly earlier than the population from Ngan dong, further downstream on the Solo River. In 1978 some stone tools were found at Sambungmacan, believed to be the first found in the same context as Homo erectus in Java (see Java man).
