Environmental evolution, faunal and human occupation since 2 Ma in the Anagni basin, central Italy

Abstract We present the study of a composite, yet continuous sedimentary succession covering the time interval spanning 2.6–0.36 Ma in the intramontane basin of Anagni (central Italy) through a dedicated borecore, field surveys, and the review of previous data at the three palaeontological and archa...
