After the collapse of the Dutch Indian colonial government, research by foreign researchers at the Sangiran site stopped. This resulted in the cessation of the search for fossils by the people. In 1950s, Toto Marsono who is a von koenigswald confidant who continues the effort to collect fossils. The collection of fossils by Toto Marsono is not as intensive as von Koenigswald, this is due to the limited funds owned by Toto Marsono.
The search for fossils by Toto Marsono is different from the way von Koenigswald did. In the era of Toto Marsono fossil seekers stood alone, not well organized, wages were only given to inventors of fossils and money for fossil inventors was very small. For 24 years, fossil collection activities carried out by Toto Marsono succeeded in collecting many fossils.
The collected fossils are stored in the house of Toto Marsono and this became the forerunner to the establishment of the Sangiran Early Human Museum. A long journey in an effort to uncover the mysteries of the past, the mysteries of the past, the mysteries of ancient human life on earth Sangiran. (Wiwit Hermanto) translated by: Mutiara Sholikah
