There is still a lot of material coming out of Sangiran, Jean. Possibly not from the regulated areas, but every time there is heavy rain fossils are uncovered, and when the creeks and rivers running through the area rise, they uncover fossils in the creek banks, which the local people harvest as soon as the water level drops. Its all highly illegal of course, but like most things illegal, its only illegal if you get caught.You've only got to walk around the local markets to see evidence of what is found.
