In Turkey, the Mousterian culture has a wide dispersal area, especially in the Anatolian peninsula. This peninsula has thus a unique significance for its geographical position between Asia and Europe. In many of Turkey’s open-air sites and caves, evidences of this cultureexist. Middle Paleolithic industries have been discovered in numerous open-air sites along the Black Sea coast as well as in the provinces of Antalya, Gaziantep, Hatay, Adıyaman, Batman, Bingöl, Sanlıurfa, Elazıg, Malatya, Nigde, Nevsehir, Ankara, Kütahya, Balıkesir, Bursa,and Ç anakkale. Mousterian settlements are found within a stratigraphic context only atKaletepe Deresi 3 among these sites usually located in close proximity to water and material sources.
