Possible presence of some human remains of the Wadjak type found at Cau Giat (Quynh Luu Bay, North Vietnam).

French archaeologists have known the Cau Giat site, excavated by Mrs Colani and Mr Pajot, since 1930. Many artefacts and human remains have been found , but human fossil material has long been lost and forgotten. However, the study of rediscovered fossil material highlights some morphological aspects that allow consideration of a human presence resembling the Wadjak in Nort h Vietnam. Recognition of particular characters of the Wadjak type, outside Indonesia, leads to the hypothesis of the existence of migratory ways or d iffusion between the Indonesian islands and the Eurasiatic continent.
