ResumoThe fossil human bones were found in the deposits filling up a cave opened in the Palaeozoic limestone lens at the Maruhon limestone quarry. At this site, two caves were excavated for scientific investigation. The main cave is a northnortheastery trending narrow cave about 20m long (areas I-III of Fig. I-4), and the other is a smaller cave (area IV of Fig. I-4) having an elliptical profile, about 2m in longer diameter. The human bones were found in the main cave. The longitudinal vertical section of this cave is shown in Fig. III-2. The cave opens probably at its western end.
