Theopetra Cave (Kalambaka). N. Kyparissi-Apostolika (Director, EPSNE) reports the results of thermoluminescence dating of 2 childrens’ footprints from the cave, which places human activity here prior to 135,000 BP. The date, and the Mousterian technique of the stone tools in the analogous level, suggest that the first occupants were Homo Sapiens neanderthalensis. Study of carbonized fruits, seeds, cereals and pulses from the water sieving of Pal levels proceeds.
