Özet

The Canakkale-Balkesir Coastline Palaeolithic Survey Project covers the Canakkale and Balkesir coastlines of the Aegean. It aims to reveal Palaeolithic assemblages and their connection to the surrounding islands-primarily Lesbos. In 2021, four important findspots were detected on the Canakkale coastline, and more than 500 lithics were uncovered, exhibiting the characteristics of large cutting tools, as well as pebble and prepared core technologies. These tools attest to the presence of hominins along the Canakkale coastline during the Lower Palaeolithic.
