Three subsequent faunas are ordered biostratigraphically on the basis of their respective proboscidean genera, i.e. the Early Pleistocene Mastodon – Geochelone fauna, the early Middle Pleistocene Stegodon – Homo erectus fauna and the late Middle Pleistocene Elephas – Homo sapiens fauna. Since the Stegodon – Homo erectus fauna actually contains elements from successive migration waves and represents different ecological settings it is subdivided and interpreted accordingly. However, the ecological settings of a large island like Jawa cannot be expected to be as uniform as commonly thought. Moreover, processes of endemic evolution in Jawa were rarely studied so far. In this paper, we introduce a model for the examination of endemic evolution in Jawa. Testing this model requires to fill in gaps in mapping the distribution of Pleistocene mammals, particularly in West Jawa. Since sites in West Jawa were only rarely studied, we introduce a newly discovered Pleistocene mammal locality in West Jawa with high potential to provide crucial data on mammal assemblages. The results of a test excavation provide first insights for model testing. © E. Schweizerbart’sche Verlagsbuchhandlung (Nägele u.
