They work for four weeks, more than 60 researchers and students from many universities 
Italian but also from foreign universities, such as the Philippines, Indonesia and Morocco, engaged in excavations prehistoric - paleontology in the Grass in Apricena Cave (Cave of ex Pirro Nord).
The purpose of this survey is the second year to gather more information about the paleontological deposit which has already returned several bones belonging to more than 100 species of animals such as, for example, the saber-toothed tiger, the mammoth, the rhinoceros and the giant hyena, and other artifacts produced by ' Prehistoric man
around 1.5 million years ago.
"The site of Pirro Nord - reminiscent of the excavation director, Marta Arzarello, University of Ferrara, Marco Pavia, University of Turin - is now the oldest evidence of the arrival of man prehistoric Europe, a man who found about 1.8 million years ago at the gates of Europe, Georgia, and later in Italy, France and Spain. "
site were found in the products of instrumental human
or splinters of flint, from the very sharp edge, which were used for domestic activities and for depezzamento of animal carcasses. About 50 chips and nuclei, block of raw material from which the chips were detached by percussion with a pebble, hard stone, have already been discovered and will enable researchers to define more precisely what the technology was adopted by the EU
man for the production of the first European instruments.
The second season of excavation was made possible by the partnership of several funding agencies, including the Universities Turin and Ferrara, and above all, the City of Apricena, led by Mayor Zuccarino Vito, who initially took to heart the excavation and the logistics of the mission, and then, the Italcementi Group, the foundation and CRT the Caripuglia, which in addition to finance the work has also promoted the construction of the future museum that will house Apricena
a section dedicated to important discoveries on the site of Pirro Nord. Excavation of the important service also will dedicate a national magazine "Archeologia Viva" in the next issue in September and already on newsstands these days
