“…Bunun sebebi, insanların sadece bu bölgeyi iskân etmiş olmaları değil, bu bölgedeki çalışmaların sonuçlar vermiş olmasıdır. Zira, Anadolu'nun birçok bölgesi Paleolitik döneme ait taş aletleri kalıntıları bakımından oldukça zengindir (Kuhn vd., 2009;Dinçer, 2016). Bu da insanların her bölgeyi kullanmış olduklarını ortaya koyar.…”

İnsanın Afrika'dan çıkıp dünyaya yayılımı paleoantropolojinin en önemli konularından birisidir. Bu göçlerin ne zaman, hangi rotalar kullanılarak ve hangi insan türleri tarafından gerçekleştirildiği önemli sorular olarak karşımıza çıkmakta, bulunan her yeni fosil bu sorulara ait yeni cevapları ortaya koymaktadır. Anadolu, üç kıtanın arasında yer alması sebebiyle bu kıtalar için önemli bir köprü görevi görür. Coğrafi pozisyonuna rağmen, paleoantropolojik çalışmalar kısıtlı olduğu için fosil insan kalıntıları çok azdır. Fosil insan kalıntılarının çoğu erken dönem çalışmalarında bulunmakla beraber, son yıllarda yapılan yeni çalışma ve keşifler Anadolu'nun bu göçlerdeki önemini daha çok açığa çıkarmaktadır. Bu çalışma Anadolu'da bulunmuş ve Paleolitik döneme tarihlendirilmiş fosil insan kalıntıları hakkında yapılmış çalışmaların derlemesi olarak hazırlanmıştır.

“…Thus, it should have been a critical route for hominins. Several studies have shown that Anatolia was possibly permanently occupied at least from the middle of the Middle Pleistocene (Minzoni-Déroche, 1987;Otte et al, 1998;Slimak et al, 2008;Güleç et al, 2009;Kuhn et al, 2015;Dinçer, 2016;Tasķıran, 2018). Yet the hominin fossil record currently available for Anatolia is very limited, except for the Kocabaşhominins (assigned to Homo erectus) associated with the Lower Palaeolithic of Denizli province in southwestern Turkey (Lebatard et al, 2014).…”

“…Lithic remains are thus essential sources for tracing hominin dispersal (Kuhn et al, 2015). Inferring the activities of hominins is of particular relevance since the ecological and climatic conditions of Anatolia differ considerably from those of Africa (Dinçer, 2016), making occupation by hominins a challenge.…”

Late Acheulean Lithic Assemblages From Locality 010 at Gürgürbaba Hill (Eastern Anatolia)

The province of Van in north-eastern Turkey served as a land bridge between Africa and Eurasia during the Palaeolithic. The region is of particular relevance for understanding the movement of hominins between these continents. This study concerns the lithic remains from a locality at Gürgürbaba Hill, named Locality 010, north of the village of Ulupamir (Erciş district). Locality 010 was dated to 311±32 kya by terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides method, which coincides with Marine Isotope Stage 9 (MIS 9), a Middle Pleistocene interglacial period. The assemblage from this site is attributed to the Late Acheulean and resembles that of the southern Caucasus. This similarity indicates that the artefacts from Locality 010 were probably produced by late Lower Palaeolithic technology in a broad sense. These findings suggest local adaptations of late Middle Pleistocene hominins to high plateau environments.

“…The prevailing view has held that the Aegean Sea-separating western Anatolia from continental Greece-constituted an impassable barrier to pre-sapiens populations. The likeliest entry point to Europe was consequently hypothesized to be the Marmara-Thrace land corridor (13)(14)(15). Recent archaeological and paleogeographic research, however, challenges this model.…”

Earliest occupation of the Central Aegean (Naxos), Greece: Implications for hominin andHomo sapiens’ behavior and dispersals

et al. 2019

We present evidence of Middle Pleistocene activity in the central Aegean Basin at the chert extraction and reduction complex of Stelida (Naxos, Greece). Luminescence dating places ~9000 artifacts in a stratigraphic sequence from ~13 to 200 thousand years ago (ka ago). These artifacts include Mousterian products, which arguably provide first evidence for Neanderthals in the region. This dated material attests to a much earlier history of regional exploration than previously believed, opening the possibility of alternative routes into Southeast Europe from Anatolia (and Africa) for (i) hominins, potentially during sea level lowstands (e.g., Marine Isotope Stage 8) permitting terrestrial crossings across the Aegean, and (ii) Homo sapiens of the Early Upper Paleolithic (Aurignacian), conceivably by sea.
