Recent excavations on this travertine site in East Germany, not far from Halle, have revealed thousands of stone tools of a Lower Palaeolithic CLACTONiAN-type culture. A few human fossil skull pieces are known. Numerous lines of evidence indicate the interglacial environment and a date in the penultimate or Holstein interglacial, perhaps some 250,000-350,000 years ago.
