Abstract

The Lower Paleolithic layers containing chipped stone material that make up the subject of this work, are located in the E cavity of the cave. The archaeological deposits located in the E cavity is approximately 11 m thick. On the other hand, the part that concerns us and contains Lower Paleolithic layers is only 4 m. In this layer, 7 different geologic units which can be distinguished from each other have been determined. Each of these geological units has given us very important chipped stone finds.
