Eight of the ruins are recorded between 50,000 and 68,000 years ago, while one, the oldest, is aged between 90,000 and 100,000 years ago, the ministry said.
The discovery occurred in Grotta Guattari, prehistoric caves discovered more than 80 years ago, found around 100 meters from the shore of Tyrrhenian Sea in San Felice Circeo, near Latina, in the Lazio province. Video footage from the ministry revealed bones, craniums, and other body components discovered at the place.
