Trinil Site

Trinil Museum

Trinil Museum is about 15 kilometres from Ngawi and near to the Bengawan Solo River. The museum contains a collection of about 1,500 fossils, some of which are a million years old. As of 2013 up to 500 fossils had yet to be identified. In the late 19th century Eugene Dubois found Pithecantropus eretus in the Trinil area.

Oldest human-made mark in the world

Researchers found in the Trinil site that the scratch at Pseudodon vondembuschianus trinilensis plain water clam shell aged 500,000 years is the oldest in the world. Although the scratch is perhaps not art, its zig-zag shape is evidence that the scratch is human-made. The clamshell has been found in 1896, but the zig-zag scratch was found in 2014. [4]
