Abstract: Abstract Human bones were recovered in 1997 near Serra San Quirico in Ancona province (Marche, Central Italy) during archaeological excavations carried out by the Soprintendenza ai Beni Archeologici delle Marche. The site is located in a cave, 20 metres above the plane of the road, on the wall of a fluvial gorge called “Gola della Rossa”. The remains consist of a cranial vault and a few non-articulated postcranial bones, possibly belonging to the same individual.
