New evidence of Pleistocene hominin occupation in Mardin Province, south-east Turkey: Şıkefta Elobrahimo Cave

Abstract

An archaeological field project designed to investigate Palaeolithic occupation is being undertaken in Mardin Province, south-east Turkey. New sites have been identified and recorded systematically, including Şıkefta Elobrahimo Cave. Together, these provide ample evidence for hominin presence in this area since the Middle Palaeolithic.
