Morphologically, this specimen shows the same degenerative tendency as the other existing third molars from this stratigraphic zone. Another potentially interesting find for the new specimen was the remnants of the dental calculus. Future attempts to focus on this aspect, as well as other dental pathologies, may provide valuable insights into the cause of dental-size reduction in Javanese H. erectus, as well as their diet and behavior. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
