Part 4 of the monograph series on the Early Pleistocene site at Untermassfeld details the research history of the site from 1997 to 2015. New results on the geological evolution of the Werra valley around the fossil deposit are discussed along with the absolute age of the finds. All contributions are richly illustrated and are written in English.


Excavations at the Early Pleistocene vertebrate site of Untermassfeld took place over a total of 127 months, resulting in the recovery of an abundance of 18,000 identifiable paleontological finds. Led by R.-D. Kahlke, this incredible collection has been preserved and evaluated by an interdisciplinary team of scientists.
