Dating reference: Chris Stringer, The chronological and evolutionary position of the Broken Hill cranium. AAPA meeting presentation 2011. "When combined with new biostratigraphic assessments, a later Middle Pleistocene age for the cranium is favoured. A relatively late date for the Broken Hill cranium suggests a long time span for the rhodesiensis/heidelbergensis group and warrants caution about inferring the presence of early modern humans from the presence of early Middle Stone Age artifacts."
