The Song Terus cave is one of the archaeological sites located in this area, which has yielded an important collection of fossil bones and prehistoric lithic industry. ESR dating shows that this cave belongs to a karstic system which has been in place since Middle Pleistocene. The results of coupled ESR/Uranium-series dating indicates closed system for uranium in tooth tissues yielding ages of between 216 and 392 ka for the oldest archaeological levels, confirming the possibility of finding Middle Pleistocene human occupations in such karstic sites in Java. specialized ESR U series tooth middle pleistocene Indonesia 112 2 1-4 Special Iss. 398-402 2007 1871-1014 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010040647 10.1016/j.quageo.2006.04.011 1871-1014 [F B010040647] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010040647 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2007/08/010040647.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2007-09-04 2017-08-23 fdi:010040647 fre
