ALBERT

Description: The hominid bearing strata from the Liang Bua cave on Flores have yielded a large amount of microvertebrate remains. Among these are three mandibles of shrews, the first record of fossil insectivores from the island. The fossils, representing two different species, are not referable to any of the known Recent shrews from Flores, and are probably part of the extinct insular fauna. Since mandibles alone do not offer sufficient characters to allow even a generic classification, they are published in open nomenclature as Crocidura or Suncus sp. A, and sp. B.\n\n\xce\x91\xcf\x80\xcf\x8c \xcf\x84\xce\xb1 \xcf\x83\xcf\x84\xcf\x81\xcf\x8e\xce\xbc\xce\xb1\xcf\x84\xce\xb1 \xce\xbc\xce\xb5 Hominidae \xce\xb1\xcf\x80\xcf\x8c \xcf\x84\xce\xbf \xcf\x83\xcf\x80\xce\xae\xce\xbb\xce\xb1\xce\xb9\xce\xbf Liang Bua \xcf\x84\xce\xb7\xcf\x82 \xce\xbd\xce\xae\xcf\x83\xce\xbf\xcf\x85 \xce\xa6\xce\xbb\xcf\x8c\xcf\x81\xce\xb5\xcf\x82 \xce\xad\xcf\x87\xce\xb5\xce\xb9 \xce\xb1\xce\xbd\xce\xb1\xcf\x83\xce\xba\xce\xb1\xcf\x86\xcf\x84\xce\xb5\xce\xaf \xce\xad\xce\xbd\xce\xb1\xcf\x82 \xcf\x83\xce\xb7\xce\xbc\xce\xb1\xce\xbd\xcf\x84\xce\xb9\xce\xba\xcf\x8c\xcf\x82 \xce\xb1\xcf\x81\xce\xb9\xce\xb8\xce\xbc\xcf\x8c\xcf\x82 \xce\xb5\xcf\x85\xcf\x81\xce\xb7\xce\xbc\xce\xac\xcf\x84\xcf\x89\xce\xbd \xce\xbc\xce\xb9\xce\xba\xcf\x81\xce\xbf\xce\xb8\xce\xb7\xce\xbb\xce\xb1\xcf\x83\xcf\x84\xce\xb9\xce\xba\xcf\x8e\xce\xbd. \xce\x9c\xce\xb5\xcf\x84\xce\xb1\xce\xbe\xcf\x8d \xce\xb1\xcf\x85\xcf\x84\xcf\x8e\xce\xbd \xce\xba\xce\xb1\xce\xb9 \xcf\x84\xcf\x81\xce\xb5\xce\xb9\xcf\x82 \xce\xb3\xce\xbd\xce\xac\xce\xb8\xce\xbf\xce\xb9 \xce\xbc\xcf\x85\xce\xbf\xce\xb3\xce\xb1\xce\xbb\xce\xae\xcf\x82, \xcf\x80\xce\xbf\xcf\x85 \xce\xb1\xcf\x80\xce\xbf\xcf\x84\xce\xb5\xce\xbb\xce\xbf\xcf\x8d\xce\xbd \xcf\x84\xce\xb7 \xcf\x80\xcf\x81\xcf\x8e\xcf\x84\xce\xb7 \xce\xb1\xce\xbd\xce\xb1\xcf\x86\xce\xbf\xcf\x81\xce\xac \xce\xb1\xcf\x80\xce\xbf\xce\xbb\xce\xb9\xce\xb8\xcf\x89\xce\xbc\xce\xad\xce\xbd\xcf\x89\xce\xbd \xce\xb5\xce\xbd\xcf\x84\xce\xbf\xce\xbc\xce\xbf\xcf\x86\xce\xac\xce\xb3\xcf\x89\xce\xbd \xcf\x83\xcf\x84\xce\xb7 \xce\xbd\xce\xae\xcf\x83\xce\xbf. \xce\xa4\xce\xb1 \xce\xb1\xcf\x80\xce\xbf\xce\xbb\xce\xb9\xce\xb8\xcf\x8e\xce\xbc\xce\xb1\xcf\x84\xce\xb1 \xce\xb1\xcf\x85\xcf\x84\xce\xac \xce\xb1\xce\xbd\xcf\x84\xce\xb9\xcf\x83\xcf\x84\xce\xbf\xce\xb9\xcf\x87\xce\xbf\xcf\x8d\xce\xbd \xcf\x83\xce\xb5 \xce\xb4\xcf\x8d\xce\xbf \xce\xb4\xce\xb9\xce\xb1\xcf\x86\xce\xbf\xcf\x81\xce\xb5\xcf\x84\xce\xb9\xce\xba\xce\xac \xce\xb5\xce\xaf\xce\xb4\xce\xb7 \xcf\x84\xce\xb1 \xce\xbf\xcf\x80\xce\xbf\xce\xaf\xce\xb1 \xce\xb4\xce\xb5\xce\xbd \xcf\x83\xcf\x87\xce\xb5\xcf\x84\xce\xaf\xce\xb6\xce\xbf\xce\xbd\xcf\x84\xce\xb1\xce\xb9 \xce\xbc\xce\xb5 \xce\xba\xce\xb1\xce\xbd\xce\xad\xce\xbd\xce\xb1 \xce\xb1\xcf\x80\xcf\x8c \xcf\x84\xce\xb1 \xcf\x83\xcf\x8d\xce\xb3\xcf\x87\xcf\x81\xce\xbf\xce\xbd\xce\xb1 \xce\xb5\xce\xaf\xce\xb4\xce\xb7 \xce\xbc\xcf\x85\xce\xbf\xce\xb3\xce\xb1\xce\xbb\xce\xae\xcf\x82 \xcf\x84\xce\xb7\xcf\x82 \xce\xa6\xce\xbb\xcf\x8c\xcf\x81\xce\xb5\xcf\x82, \xce\xba\xce\xb1\xce\xb9 \xcf\x80\xce\xb9\xce\xb8\xce\xb1\xce\xbd\xcf\x8c\xce\xbd \xce\xbd\xce\xb1 \xce\xb1\xcf\x80\xce\xbf\xcf\x84\xce\xb5\xce\xbb\xce\xbf\xcf\x8d\xcf\x83\xce\xb1\xce\xbd \xce\xbc\xce\xad\xcf\x81\xce\xbf\xcf\x82, \xcf\x84\xce\xb7\xcf\x82 \xcf\x84\xcf\x8e\xcf\x81\xce\xb1 \xce\xb5\xce\xbe\xce\xb1\xcf\x86\xce\xb1\xce\xbd\xce\xb9\xcf\x83\xce\xbc\xce\xad\xce\xbd\xce\xb7\xcf\x82, \xce\xb5\xce\xbd\xce\xb4\xce\xb7\xce\xbc\xce\xb9\xce\xba\xce\xae\xcf\x82 \xce\xb1\xce\xbd\xce\xaf\xce\xb4\xce\xb1\xcf\x82. \xce\x9a\xce\xb1\xce\xb8\xcf\x8e\xcf\x82 \xce\xbf\xce\xb9 \xce\xb3\xce\xbd\xce\xac\xce\xb8\xce\xbf\xce\xb9 \xce\xb1\xcf\x80\xcf\x8c \xce\xbc\xcf\x8c\xce\xbd\xce\xb5\xcf\x82 \xcf\x84\xce\xbf\xcf\x85\xcf\x82 \xce\xb4\xce\xb5\xce\xbd \xcf\x80\xce\xb1\xcf\x81\xce\xad\xcf\x87\xce\xbf\xcf\x85\xce\xbd \xce\xb1\xcf\x81\xce\xba\xce\xb5\xcf\x84\xce\xac \xcf\x83\xcf\x84\xce\xbf\xce\xb9\xcf\x87\xce\xb5\xce\xaf\xce\xb1 \xce\xb3\xce\xb9\xce\xb1 \xcf\x84\xce\xbf\xce\xbd \xcf\x80\xcf\x81\xce\xbf\xcf\x83\xce\xb4\xce\xb9\xce\xbf\xcf\x81\xce\xb9\xcf\x83\xce\xbc\xcf\x8c \xcf\x84\xce\xbf\xcf\x85 \xce\xb3\xce\xad\xce\xbd\xce\xbf\xcf\x85\xcf\x82, \xce\xb4\xce\xb7\xce\xbc\xce\xbf\xcf\x83\xce\xb9\xce\xb5\xcf\x8d\xce\xbf\xce\xbd\xcf\x84\xce\xb1\xce\xb9 \xce\xbc\xce\xb5 \xce\xb1\xce\xbd\xce\xbf\xce\xb9\xcf\x87\xcf\x84\xce\xae \xce\xbd\xce\xbf\xce\xbc\xce\xb1\xcf\x84\xce\xbf\xce\xbb\xce\xbf\xce\xb3\xce\xaf\xce\xb1 \xcf\x89\xcf\x82 Crocidura \xce\xae Suncus sp.
