Abstract
The study of six sites dating from the Lower Paleolithic Period discovered in Southern Pryazovia at the Taman Peninsula (Kermek, Bogatyri/Sinyaya Balka, Rodniki 1-4) highlighted the biostratigraphic and paleomagnetic data they send to different Lower Pleistocene phases correlated with Late Kuyalnikian and Gurian/Apsheronian periods of the local stratigraphic Ponto-Caspian scale. The lithic collections from these sites are mostly similar and form the same Acheulean lithic industry named Tamanian. Two phases form its development. The first one is represented by the Kermek site (the time interval between 1.8 and 1.6 Ma). The second is characterized by the Rodniki 1-4 and Bogatyri/Sinyaya Balka sites (the time interval between 1.6 and 1 Ma).
