Anina, Romania
Peștera cu Oase
Peștera cu Oase is a system of 12 karstic galleries and chambers located near the city Anina, in Caraș-Severin County, southwestern Romania, where some of the oldest European early modern human remains, between 42,000 and 37,000 years old, have been found. While the "Oase 1" lower jaw is fully mature, the facial skeleton is that of a mid-second-decade adolescent, therefore corresponding to a second individual, designated as "Oase 2". Further analyses have revealed that the left temporal bone represents a third individual, assessed as adolescent versus mature female, designated as "Oase 3".
