Especially Denizli (Honaz, Aydınlar) and Kütahya (Omartepe Sırtı and Kureyşler Dam Lake Basin) are the areas where the highly characteristic chipped stone industries belong to the Mousterian industry. The Middle Palaeolithic (Mousterian) industry produced of high-quality and far origin flint in Denizli includes biface, levallois and discoid cores along with side scrapers, typical mousterian point, flakes and knapping waste products. Within Kütahya Kureyşler Dam Lake Region Middle Paleolithic industry group which is dense in findings, existence of scrapers like quina has been reported.
