AB  - Lower Paleolithic site of Cave Azykh was discovered in Azerbaijan in 1960. Proceeding from Cave Azykh’s lowerlayers’ differences from the “classical” Oldowan, M. M. Guseynov singled out a new culture, a “Kuruchay” one.One of the criteria for singling out the new culture was the discovery of large, up to 4-4.5-kilo two-hand choppers M.M. Guseynov called “gigantolites.” Several decades later, the “Kuruchay culture”-forming base - large two-handgigantolite tools - were discovered not only at the Lower Paleolithic site of Garaja near the Mingechavir reservoir300 kilometers north of Azykh but also at Central Dagestan’s Lower Paleolithic sites far away from the site of Azykh.The Lower Paleolithic sites discovered in the Southern Caucasus and throughout the Caucasus prove that themigration ways of most ancient populations of hominids were diverse. After having penetrated the Caucasus about2 million years ago, most ancient hominids moved northwards through at least two directions. They moved towardsAzykh and farther straight northwards through Garaja towards a Dagestan complex of Lower Paleolithic sites. Theother migration way led towards Dmanisi and farther northwards as well.
