A new discovery has been made in Dmanisi [southern Georgia]. Two days before the completion of field work, Georgian archaeologists discovered 1.7-1.8m-year-old human remains. A part of the skull and the wrist bone of a prehistoric human being were found. This will allow scientists to form an idea of the human being's physical features, weight, size and proportions.
Archaeologist Dato Lortkipanidze has said that having completed field operations successfully, the group of explorers will return to Tbilisi tomorrow and submit the discovered material to a laboratory for a scientific examination.
