Abstrak
Temuan artefak batu Patiayam umumnya berasal dari temuan permukaan yang tidak diketahui konteks stratigrafinya. Hal ini menjadikan aspek kronologi artefak masih dalam tataran hipotesis. Keberadaan artefak batu Patiayam senantiasa di kaitkan melalui pendekatan penghunian Homo erectus di Jawa Kala Plestosen tengah. Survei BPSMP Sangiran tahun 2017 menemukan enam artefak batu di aliran Sungai Kedung Ponte. Lokasi tersebut dirasa menarik dari sisi litologinya dan diharapkan bisa memberikan kemungkinan baru terkait konteks stratigrafi artefak batu Patiayam.
