International archaeologists have uncovered evidence of early human presence in southeastern Sicily, offering insights into the migration patterns of ancient humans in the Mediterranean. The findings suggest that coastal and underwater cave sites in southern Sicily hold important new clues about the path and fate of early human migrants to the island. The research is part of the Early Occupation of Sicily (EOS) project, which aims to identify the first stable community on the island and analyze their impact on the environment. The team surveyed 25 caves and rock shelters in southeastern Sicily, many of which had been lost to science over time. One of the key sites examined is the Paleolithic site of Corruggi, which offers compelling data about the possible routes used by early humans to occupy the Mediterranean island.
