Abstract
Numerous ancient Palaeolithic sites containing handaxes have been discovered in the Caucasus regions and in particular the caves of Koudaro I and III and Tsona in Georgia, Azikhe in Azerbaijan, Treougolnaïa in the north of the Caucasus. There are also many open-air sites corresponding to tool making sites. The research carried out makes it possible to identify long-term settlements, temporary settlements, hunting stops and tool making workshops. The exceptional interest of these sites is the presence of handaxes made throughout the Middle Pleistocene between 560,000 and 360,000 years ago. The Acheulean cultures of Caucasus are characterized by the relative abundance of handaxes, numerous shaped pebbles associated with a small retouched tools.
