  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The fossils of Chaoxian hominin, widely accepted as representing archaic&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Homo sapiens&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;in eastern China, were recovered from the middle or slightly higher levels of Layer 2 deposits of a collapsed cave at Yinshan, Anhui Province. Results of mass spectrometric U-series dating of intercalated&amp;nbsp;speleothem&amp;nbsp;calcites&amp;nbsp;are presented. Based mainly on four broadly coeval calcite samples, the hominin fossils should be bracketed in the range of 310–360&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;ka or somewhat older. These ages are much older than the previous estimate at 160–200&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;ka based on the U-series dating of fossil teeth and bones, and may be cited as supporting evidence for an earlier&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;H. erectus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;–archaic&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;H. sapiens&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;interface in China.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
