Vértesszőlős
Vértesszőlős is a village in Komárom-Esztergom county, Hungary. It is most known for the archaeological site where a Middle Pleistocene human fossil, known as "Samu", was found. History Prehistory Vértesszőlős sits at the foot of the Gerecse Mountains, which were at one point in the sea. At the bottom of this sea, many fossils accumulated, including that of a ''Homo erectus'' individual that is now known as Samu. Recent history For most of its history, Vértesszőlős has been constantly inhabited by different peoples, including Celts, Romans, Avars, Moravians, and Hungarians. According to legend, it was near Vértesszőlős that Svatopluk I of Moravia and Árpád fought. At the beginning of the 18th century, the village had several Lords, who recruited Slovakian-speaking serfs to settle the land. These settlers radically transformed the landscape; they drained the marshes, cut forests to make pastures, and brought sheep into the territory. By the end of the 18th cen ...

Samu (fossil)
Samu is the nickname given to a fragmentary human occipital bone (also known as "Vertesszolos man", or "Vertesszolos occipital") found in Vértesszőlős, Central Transdanubia, Hungary. The discovery was made on 21 August 1965 during a dig led by , and the fossil was named ''Sámuel'', 21 August being the name day of biblical judge Samuel in Hungarian tradition. It has since become widely known as ''Samu'', a Hungarian short form of the name. Hungarian anthropologist Andor Thoma (1928–2003) initially described it as ''Homo erectus seu sapiens paleohungaricus''. The fossil at the time was believed to be about 500,000 years old, and some literature of the 1970s classifies it as ''Homo erectus''. Analyses performed in the 1990s have revealed a significantly younger age, at between 250,000 and 300,000 years old (Mindel glaciation), and the fossil is now classified as ''Homo heidelbergensis''.István Fzy, István Szente, ''Fossils of the Carpathian Region'' (2013) p. 412 ...
