Abstract

Stratified Lower Paleolithic sites are very rare in the Armenian Highlands and the Caucasus, and their fragmentary record limits our knowledge of the initial hominin occupation phases and lifeways in the area during the Early and Middle Pleistocene. The recently discovered Dalarik-1 Cave in Eastern Armenia will add some knowledge to the LP study of the region, containing an in situ and well preserved Acheulian assemblage together with fossilized faunal remains. These factors make Dalarik-1 ideal for ideal for the study of hominin adaptive behaviors as well as timing, duration and regional occupational pattering, which are among the most significant and debated aspects of human evolution in Eurasia.
