Abstract
In recent years the studying of the raw materials economy has gained importance and aims to show the human behavior and life style of the people lived in the past, hunting strategies, and settlement systems. Thus, in this study, the stone tools were recovered from Hatay Province of the Middle Paleolithic period caves: Ucagizli II, Merdivenli, and Tikali, examined to understand raw material economies. In this context, it is determined to reveal inhabitants of those caves settlements, what kind of sources of raw materials used in the past and how they manage these resources in behavioral traits. As a result of excavations and surveys conducted in the region have been identified two types of source of raw materials. These resources are defined as the primary and secondary by the geological formations. According to the geological formations in the caves shelled flint pebbles, which are often used in the secondary. The primary sources of raw materials consumed less frequently.
