Abstract

Paleolithic period reflects the stratigraphy, chronology, and cultural phenomenon with the help of fossil people, as well as within this period the people’s adaptation processes, the identification of the faunal and floral remnants, and organization of people’s living space are also investigated. Paleolithic period is divided into as lower, middle and upper, and those periods are dated between 2.500.000 and 10.000 years. Human evolutionary process in the Paleolithic time, stone tools technical and typological characteristics is made up past human population behaviors data. In this study, stone tool technology at Ucagizli Cave in Ahmarian culture will be discussed. Ucagizli Cave is an Upper Paleolithic settlement to dated 27 to 42,000 years ago and had been continuously inhabited by humans for 12,000 years. The culture of the Upper Paleolithic cave Ahmarian layers constitutes the final placement. This culture is characterized with higher blade/bladelet tool, lower unretouched tool and the presences of the protoprismatic cores, and it is different than Aurignacien culture. The features of Ahmarian cultures in Ucagizli Cave show that their Upper Paleolithic culture is within the Levantine.
