“…Data collection methods include a literature study on the results of previous research, and direct observation through surveys at the three sites studied. Sources of literature on Rancah Site come from Van Es (1931), Von Koenigswald (1934), Hetzel (1935), and Kramer et al, (2005). Then regarding Bumiayu comes from van der Maarel (1932), Ter Haar (1934), Sondaar (1984), de Vos (1985, Van Den Bergh, (1999), van der Meulen (1999), and Setiyabudi (2009).…”

“…Its palaeontological potential has actually been identified since the 1920s, resulting from various ancient outcrops of Kali Cijulang, in which vertebrate fossils were later defined by Koenigswald as Cijulang Fauna (von Koenigswald, 1935). It is on the fossilized land that dominates the Rancah Village that Kramer et al (2005) conducted excavations in two places in 1999, in Kali Cipasang and Kali Cisanca. Various fossil fauna fragments were found during the excavation, and the most important finding was a human tooth which was a lateral, lower, right incisor, which was a dental crown, without a tooth root.…”

Data paleontologis menunjukkan bahwa awal penghunian Jawa terjadi pada batas Plio-Plestosen sekitar 2.4 juta tahun lalu, namun fosil Homo erectus tertua yang ditemukan di Sangiran, berasal dari lapisan 1.5 juta tahun lalu. Belakangan ini, ditemukan situs-situs Plestosen, dari bagian barat Pulau Jawa, yaitu Rancah, Semedo, dan Bumiayu. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menampilkan signifikansi data arkeologi, paleontologi dan terutama paleoanthropologi dari situs-situs tersebut, serta implikasinya bagi penentuan strategi penelitian prasejarah kuarter di masa depan. Metode pengumpulan data meliputi studi pustaka, dan survei pada ketiga situs tersebut. Analisis data dilakukan pada data geologis, arkeologis, paleontologis dan paleoantropologis. Hasilnya, distribusi lateral Homo erectus semakin luas di bagian barat Jawa, dengan kronologi 1.8-1.7 juta tahun, lebih tua dibanding Homo erectus tertua dari Sangiran. Sebuah jendela baru tentang kedatangan Homo erectus di Pulau Jawa telah teridentifikasi. Implikasinya, sudah saatnya penelitian prasejarah kuarter intensif dilakukan di bagian barat pulau ini.

“…Comparisons of RH1 to samples of great apes, modern humans and the fossil hominid H. erectus suggest affinities with the latter species (Kramer et al, 2004). A series of bovid teeth from a single individual was recovered 190 cm beneath the hominid tooth.…”

“…In West Java, the data about this fossil is still limited. At least a hominid incisor was reported discovered from West Java, where the exact location is at Ranca, Tambaksari, West Java (Kramer et al, 2005). Anyway hominid was living in a certain environment.…”

Cisaar Valley is located on the east part of Sumedang Regency, West Jawa Province. It’s close to the boundary of Sumedang-Majalengka Regency. In this location the sandy and clay dominated sedimentary rocks are well exposed along the outcrops in the Cisaar Valley. These sedimentary rocks is inferred from Pliocene-Pleistocene deposits from Kaliwangu and Citalang Formation. Foraminifera microfossil that commonly used for interpretation of depositional environment is rarely found, whereas freshwater mollusk and vertebrate fossils often found in the sediment rocks of this area. This condition raises a question, what is the environment of this valley in the past? Data obtained from measured stratigraphic sections along Cisaar river and its tributary rivers in Cibengkung and Cirendang hamlets, Jembarwangi village. There are at least three depositional paleoenvironments which from old to young are: shallow marine, estuarine and fluviatil braided channel depositional paleoenvironment. Characteristics of the lower, middle and upper of the estuarine environment were found in this Cisaar Valley as the evidences of the oceanic regression processes was happened in the past in this area.
