A team of archaeologists in China have unearthed a 16,000-year-old human skull after three years of investigation.

The skull was found alongside tens of thousands of stone artifacts in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

Researcher Yu Minghui told the Chinese news agency Xinhuanet it was the only complete skull from that period ever found in southern China.
