Pleistosen Arkeolojisi İle İlgili Son Çalışmalara 1997 Gözüyle Özet Bir Bakış
Öz
The joint excavations of Istanbul and California Universities at the Cave of Yarımburgaz during the field seasons of 1988-1990 were exclusively aimed to shed light on the Pleistocene cultures of the site. A Lower Paleolithic industry, similiar to the ones found in central, southern and eastern Europe was encountered in association with a diverse mammalian fauna. Studies showed that cave bears constitute 93% of all macromammal specimens recovered, interspersed with 1675 lithic finds. Using electron spin resonance, the site is dated to the middle of the Middle Pleistocene.
