Until today, there are more than 100 individual of Early Man fossils in Sangiran, contribute more than 50% of early man fossils found around the world. In addition, many artifacts and fauna fossils are found. Those findings were kept in a stratigraphy, which was uninterruptedly deposited for more than 2 million years old. Sangiran uniqueness is completed by the presence of several saline water seeps in a field, about 600m eastward from Sangiran Museum. Was Sangiran a marine environment in the past time? Why does it then become a land? Why are the fossil findings abundantly found in Sangiran, and not in other places? To answer such questions, let us back to the past Sangiran’s environment.
