Arturo Issel (
Tyrrhenian Stage in 1914.[3] Issel was also renowned at the time for his work on codifying information within anthropology and ethnology, for which he is still remembered.[4][5]
In 1865, he was searching for the presence of Neanderthal man in Malta. During one of his excursions in Dalam Valley (Wied Dalam), he came across a cave, Għar Dalam, half filled with soil and used as a cattle-pen.[6] Issel thought that an excavation at the site could prove fruitful. He dug a trench in the cave’s loose soil and found prehistoric human remains (from approximately 5000 to 4100 BC), and a burnt hippopotamus bone.[7]
Issel participated in several expeditions to
University of Genova in 1923.[8]
The Issel Bridge, an
undersea ridge separating parts of the Tyrrhenian Sea, and the Issel Seamount were named in Arturo Issel's honor. The mineral isselite is also named in his honor.[9]
