Journal Title: Ankara Üniversitesi Dil ve Tarih-Coğrafya Fakültesi Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 58, Issue 1
Abstract
It is acknowledged in the light of today's information that human species first appeared in Africa and spread to other parts of the world. It is one of the most important issues to determine which routes human species took during this process and where their living areas were located. Due to its position between Africa, Asia and Europe, the Anatolian peninsula is a region of critical importance for the investigation of this issue. In Çanakkale province, which is located in a key region in terms of fossil human population spread to Europe, 40 locality where Paleolithic chipped stone finds were found were determined during the surveys carried out between 2014 and 2017. This number is expected to increase as a result of the research to be carried out in the following years. During these researches, 16 caves were found and excavations were initiated in İnkaya Cave, which has an intensive human settlement. In this study, field surveys in Çanakkale province that have been ongoing for 4 seasons and the fossil human traces in the light of the findings obtained from these studies are discussed.
