a 2018 study. Possible artefacts were found in 17 layers, tentatively dated by their discoverers to between 1.26 Ma (palaeosol S15) and 2.12 Ma (loess L28). The date of 2.12 Ma predates the earliest known fossils of archaic humans in Eurasia (Homo erectus georgicus) by 300,000 years. Whether these potential tools were made by an early species in the genus Homo or another hominin species is unknown.
