It is the second complete cranium to be found at the site
A 500,000 year old complete cranium has been recovered from the Atapuerca side at Sima de los Huesos de Atapuerca in Burgos. It's the second complete cranium to be found at the site which shows the presence of Homo Antecessor in the region.
Sources at the Atapuerca Foundation say that once the practical entire cranium has been recovered the meticulous reconstruction of the bones will be undertaken during the winter.
The first cranium to be found at the site, known as Craneo 5 is now on display at the recently opened Museum of Human Evolution opened in Burgos, and is being described as 'the most complete fossil in the world'.
