Abstract:	The chronology of the Sangiram artefcts has been debated for more than 50 years since the discovery of the so-called Sangiran flake industry by von Koenigswald at Ngebung in 1934. Many researchers have been trying to determine the most reasonable chronology for the Sangiran artefacts. During our last two years of excavation at Dayu (Sangiran), we found the Sangiran flake industry in the Grenzbank between the Kabuh and Pucangan layers. It consists of flakes, scrapers, and borers made from chalcedony and silicified tuff. These stone implements are certainly the oldest artefacts ever found at Sangiran, dating back to at least 800,000 years ago.
