Abstract
The travertine layers of the Prince Cave have been dated by the U-series methods. The age of the lower part of the breccia Br2, where a human iliac fossil bone was discovered, is between 110 and 1260ka, and the upper part of Br2, together with the breccia Br1, between 79 and 160ka. The reliability of the results is confirmed not only by the consistency of the dates obtained from samples in close proximity, but also by the agreement between two independent dating methods: Th-230/U-234 and Th-227/Th-230. -- AATA
