Additional stone tools?

"Excavations carried between 1997 and 1999 and then between 2003 and 2006 have found additional stone tools and animal fossils including remains of 120 species of vertebrates, of which 116 are mammals. This suggests the fossils existed originally in a subtropical forest environment."

In addition to what? Were there other stone tools previously mentioned in this article?
PS: This article is a mess. The lede says that it's an extinct ape. Later, the fossil is described as genus Homo. Kortoso (talk) 19:52, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Too many block quotes

This article can surely be rewritten to concisely summarize the content without verbatim quotes every other line. This isn't a news article. --Animalparty-- (talk) 00:12, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
