This report presents a morphological description of ten hominid skeletal fragments found at Vindija cave, northwestern Yugoslavia, in 1980-1981. Eight of the specimens (seven cranial fragments and one complete hand proximal phalanx) were excavated from level G3, a stratum correlated to the Lower Würm stadial and containing Mousterian lithic elements. The salient morphological features of these new specimens are similar to those of previously described hominids from this same stratum, indicating that the new specimens are also remains of archaic H. sapiens (Neandertals). One parietal fragment was excavated from the stratigraphically more recent F complex. The F complex contains Upper Paleolithic lithic elements, and the new hominid specimen from this complex appears to exhibit features similar to other early modern H. sapiens in southcentral Europe.
本报告对1980 - 1981年在南斯拉夫西北部温迪加洞穴发现的十块原始人类骨骼碎片进行了形态学描述。其中八个标本(七块颅骨碎片和一块完整的手部近端指骨)是从G3层挖掘出来的,该地层与下武木冰期阶段相关,含有莫斯特文化的石器元素。这些新标本的显著形态特征与此前描述的来自同一地层的原始人类相似,表明这些新标本也是古老智人(尼安德特人)的遗骸。一块顶骨碎片是从地层上较新的F组挖掘出来的。F组包含旧石器时代晚期的石器元素,来自该组的新原始人类标本似乎展现出与中欧中南部其他早期现代智人相似的特征。
