In 2016, scientists discovered a lower jaw and teeth from at least one adult and potentially two children in Mata Menge, about 70 km east of Liang Bua. These findings are dated to about 700,000 years BP and could possibly be an early form of Homo floresiensis. In addition, archaeologists discovered stone tools in the cave that were used from 190,000 to 50,000 years BP.
