ABSTRACT
Zambian site of the Broken Hill Mine, in which hominin fossils and Middle Paleolithic remains were exposed by mining operations and uncontrolled excavations between 1921 and 1925. The principal fossil discovery, the well-preserved cranium of an adult, appeared to derive from a deep narrow cave at the base of a dolomite hill, now removed by mining. Other finds, including a parietal, maxilla, humerus, sacrum, two ilia, three femora (of which two are fragmentary), and two tibiae, together with artifacts and fauna, were also collected from Kabwe, but their affinities and stratigraphic relationship to the original cranium are unclear, although fluorine, uranium, and nitrogen analysis suggests that the association may be valid.
