Cave or Rock Shelter in Serbia.
A Palaeolithic cave settlement dating from 113,000 BCE.
"Part of a large team of international researchers lead by Dušan Mihailović of the University of Belgrade, Roksandic and her colleagues have been examining the mandible discovery that was excavated at the Mala Balanica cave in 2008. This is one of the few very old human fossils from Southeast Europe recovered in archaeological excavations. With the date of at least 113,000 years, it raises important questions about the spread of Neandertals and earlier hominins in the Central Balkans."
