Levallois Artifacts from the Paleolithic Sites of the Upper Tuul River
View through CrossRef
From 2023 to 2024, the research project "Paleolithic Sites of the Upper Tuul River" was conducted in the Tuul River basin, which originates from the western slopes of the Baga Khentii Mountain range in Mongolia. As part of this project, numerous stone artifacts were collected from areas surrounding the Terelj and Gorkhi Rivers, which are tributaries of the Tuul River. Among these artifacts, Levallois cores, flakes, and points were identified, indicating the presence of Middle Paleolithic human activity in the region. This study compares these Levallois artifacts with similar finds from other Mongolian and regional Paleolithic sites.
