Nesher Ramla, Archaeological site in Ramla, Israel.

The excavation site contains multiple layers of occupation, revealing stone tools, artifacts, and ancient human remains from the Middle Pleistocene period.

Researchers discovered fragments of a braincase and lower jaw dating between 140,000 and 120,000 years ago, indicating early human habitation in this region.

The site yielded over 6,000 stone tools demonstrating technological connections between ancient populations and the development of tool-making techniques.

The location emerged after quarrying activities from a cement factory, leading to systematic archaeological excavations between 2010 and 2011.

The discovered human remains represent a distinct population that potentially contributed to Neanderthal ancestry through their genetic characteristics and physical features.
