Abstract
This paper aims to represent an assemblage of choppers and chopping tools collected from the Morphou Bay Prehistoric Survey in Cyprus, together with their natural environment. Two new possible Early Paleolithic sites, Orga-Kourvelia and Vasilia-Mosphilia, which are very close, have been identified. In total, 13 pebble tools open the door to the possibility that the first human activity in Cyprus could be dated earlier than previously accepted and contribute to debates of hominin mobility in the Mediterranean islands from the mainland. In line with the data obtained as a result of our research, it refers to the idea that hominins may have visited the island much earlier than known, and it will be encouraging to other researchers who wish to research the Paleolithic Age in Cyprus.
