[1] The cave contains a rich stratigraphic succession with a depth of 7 m (23 ft), that is deposited on top of an interglacial beach foundation.

[4][5] In 2011, a team of researchers led by Stefano Benazzi of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Vienna published a study in the journal Nature which concluded that the teeth are not of Neanderthal origin, but from an early Homo sapiens and date from 45,000 to 43,000 years BP.

According to Benazzi these results allow the support of the hypothesis that the Uluzzi culture is not to be attributed to Neanderthals but to modern humans.

[6] Although the Human provenance of these teeth is contended, no evidence contradicting this claim has been put forward [3][7] and it has gained some acceptance.

However, the attribution of the entire Uluzzi technology to Anatomically Modern European Humans is more contentious.
