It's incredibly unlikely that any hominins were responsible for Cerutti. McNabb [1] wrote a good article looking at what hominins could plausibly have created the site given what's known from elsewhere and the evidence that's been presented. The short answer is that there weren't any plausible candidates and most of the technologies necessary wouldn't be invented until modern humans did so long after the site is dated. The academic consensus on the original paper is is that it presented a genuinely ambiguous site where the authors simply overstated the strength of their argument because they were unfamiliar with modern analytical methodologies at the time.
