Sangiran is passed by a beautiful river, the Cemoro River, which empties into the Bengawan Solo. This area experiences soil erosion so that the layers of soil formed are different from one layer of soil to another. It is in these layers of soil that until now many ancient human and animal fossils have been found.

Some ancient human fossils are kept in the Geological Museum in Bandung and the Paleoanthropology Laboratory, in Yogyakarta. Judging from the findings, the Sangiran Site is a prehistoric site that has a very important role in understanding the process of human evolution and is the most complete archaeological site in Asia and even in the world.
