	First Europeans, Science -- Balter 291 (5509): 1722
		Atapuerca's riches are all the more prized because they are so rare.
		And yet the recent discoveries at Atapuerca and other sites in Spain and Italy indicate that Europe was more than just a neglected backwater during the early days of human evolution.
		Even if people lived at Atapuerca for that long, anthropologists are left puzzling over the lack of evidence for an even earlier European occupation.

	BBC - Science & Nature - The evolution of man
		In 2003, the Atapuerca team announced the discovery of a single stone handaxe found buried amongst the human remains in the Pit of Bones.
		According to the researchers, its strange colour may mark it out as evidence of the first funeral rite, which suggests the hominids at Atapuerca were deposited in the pit deliberately.
		The Atapuerca researchers conclude that the remains come from one group and were dumped there in the space of a year.

	Homo antecessor
		The human fossils and lithic industry were found in association with fauna at a level dated before 780,000 years ago, and the remains were found in stratigraphic context.
		The Sierra de Atapuerca is dotted with limestone caverns and breccia with fossils.
		However, the Sima de los Huesos is buried deep in a cave in the Sierra de Atapuerca and is located at the base of a deep well-like shaft, compounding the difficulties of excavation.

	The Face of an Ancestral Child
		Early in the century a British mining company cut the trench through the southwestern slope of the Sierra de Atapuerca; the railway moved iron ore from a mine in the Sierra de la Demanda, 30 miles to the southeast, to a junction near Burgos.
		Of the three leaders of the Atapuerca team, Arsuaga is the most wiry, so it is fitting that he should be the one to slither into the Sima every day in July.
		Carbonell’s hypothesis, not widely shared at Atapuerca because there is still little evidence for it, is that it was not cannibalism at all.

		Archaeologists also found a bone from an upper arm of an adult Homo antecessor and the remains of a knife that was “probably used to hunt and cut up animals,” he said.
		Carbonell and his team are examining the Atapuerca site for early signs of human presence in Europe and are looking at the behavioral patterns of Homo antecessor.
		Atapuerca established itself as a significant site in 1997, when archaeologists found fossils of hominids estimated to be 800,000 years old.

		Auxiliary Bishop Raúl Berzosa of Oviedo wrote "A Believer's Reading of Atapuerca: Christian Faith Vis-à-vis Theories of Evolution" (Desclée de Brouwer) which addresses the question of compatibility between Christian beliefs of creation and the latest evolutionary theories.
		Anyway, I usually affirm that, on the topic of Atapuerca -- which, in a word, is the meaning of evolution -- I am neither the best author nor are my works the most complete.
		It has been my lot to be something of a "hunting bloodhound" that points out the prey and who warns about how far scientists can go who meddle, from the stance of a materialist and biologistic ideology, in the field of philosophy, ethics and religion.

		The third molar in the Atapuerca specimens reached maturity sooner than in current European populations, although the timing of its appearance lies within the worldwide human range, they note.
		Humanlike dental development in the Atapuerca fossils renders more plausible an earlier report that they had brain-case volumes nearly as large as those of modern H. sapiens, Bermúdez de Castro and his coworkers hold.
		Intriguingly, major abnormalities from the growth disturbance that afflicted one of the Atapuerca youngsters likely required the child to receive extensive care from adults, in Bromage's view.

	Application of optical dating to fossil and tool-bearing cave sediments at Atapuerca, Spain
		Since 1995, hominin bones and tools found in one bed (TD-6) at the Gran Dolina limestone-cave site, Sierra de Atapuerca, have been shown to be older than 780 ka (ka = thousand years), based on paleomagnetic data.
		Moreover, the specific chronological development of hominin presence at this key European location (Atapuerca) is unknown or poorly understood.
		This project (publication in preparation) applied photonic dating (the feldspar-specific infrared version, IRSL) and thermoluminescence (TL) dating to cave strata at Gran Dolina and Galería younger than 780 ka.

	Three new human skulls from the Sima de los Huesos Middle Pleistocene site in Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain
		The Atapuerca human remains are dated to > 300,000 years.
		The Atapuerca cranial sample fits within the 'archaic Homo sapiens' group, but is well differentiated from the Asian Homo erectus group.
		The extensive Atapuerca human collection is the most complete sample of Middle Pleistocene humans yet discovered from one site, and appears to document an early stage in Neanderthal evolution.

	Museums: The Oldest Europeans
		Their exquisitely preserved fossils, uncovered in the Atapuerca region of northern Spain, are those of an 800,000-year-old species (Homo antecessor) that may be ancestral to both Neandertals and Homo sapiens.
		Exhibited for the first time outside Spain, these fossils are shown in a larger evolutionary context, alongside casts of early African and Asian hominids, as well as one of a complete Neandertal skeleton.
		The fossil-rich Atapuerca region has also been home to a succession of hominid species for the past million years.

	Homo heidelbergensis ATAPUERCA 5 Skull Bone Clones BH-022
		Discovered in Spain in 1992 by Juan-Luis Arsuaga, in the fossil-rich caves of Sima de los Huesos (Bone Pit), Sierra se Atapuerca, this skull has been dated at 300,000 years ago.
		In fact, Atapuerca 5 has many similar features as H. neanderthalensis, such as the wide face, heavy browridge and projecting face.
		The hominids offered in this series are high quality, recreations that can be advantageously used by educators as important visual aids in the classroom, and appreciated by the general public.
