Floresiensis Cave Opened to Research

News from BBC:

"Archaeologists who found the remains of human 'Hobbits' have permission to restart excavations at the cave where the specimens were found.
"Indonesian officials have blocked access to the cave since 2005, following a dispute over the bones.
"But Professor Richard 'Bert' Roberts, a member of the team that found the specimens, told BBC News the political hurdles had now been overcome." ...
"'This year we will back in Liang Bua again, back in the cave where we found the Hobbits,' said Professor Roberts, from the University of Wollongong in Australia." ...
"'It's now a matter of getting everything organised so we can start digging again,' said Professor Roberts.
''You've got to get there in the dry season; in the wet season you can hardly drive to the site and when you are there, there are puddles of water all over the floor - so it's got to be dry to sensibly dig holes.'"
