This pilot project will enable a very competent young investigator to describe a number of important fossil hominids from Indonesia. These have been known for a long time, but not described competently. These human fossil ancestors are critical in testing ideas concerning hominid evolution in Australasia. These fossils may or may not prove to be related to more recent human populations in that area. This joint international effort will also establish professional relationships between archeologists and paleoanthropologists in three countries: Indonesia, France, and the United States.

这个试点项目将使一位非常能干的年轻研究者能够描述来自印度尼西亚的一些重要的原始人类化石。这些早已为人所知，但却没有得到恰当的描述。这些人类祖先化石对于检验有关澳大利亚原始人类进化的观点至关重要。这些化石可能与该地区最近的人类种群有关，也可能没有。这项国际合作还将在印度尼西亚、法国和美国这三个国家的考古学家和古人类学家之间建立专业关系。
