Bones of contention.

As researchers around the world began excitedly debating the significance of H. floresiensis, Soejono and Jacob reverted to their decades-old practice of working together. Soejono was keen to recruit Jacob, his long-time colleague and partner on research at Liang Bua, but Morwood insisted that was impossible. Their excavation teams began digging at Liang Bua in the 1970s and discovered a rich collection of artefacts for archaeologist Soejono to analyse. Just a couple of years later, the team made the discovery that would shake up palaeoanthropology - and apparently convince Soejono and Jacob that they had been right to worry about working with international researchers.
