The Catalogue of Italian Fossil Human Remains from Palaeolithic to the Mesolithic was developed within the framework of Targeted Project - Cultural Heritage of the Italian National Research Council. Information of the most diverse nature (anthropological, geo-chronological, paleo-environmental) about sites and human remains, is gathered together, creating a source of knowledge that becomes essential for the valorisation and conservation of such "Cultural Assets".

Seventy-eight different sites are catalogued, deriving from studies and finds that, from 1860 to the present day, include human remains belonging to a time period of more than 800.000 years. About 258 human remains are described and include both whole burials and single skeletal remains.
