Abstract
The Karain cave, in Southern Turkey, provided a long sequence of Lower and Middle Palaeolithic. A <>-type flake industry is present at the basis, with numerous denticulates and notches. The evolution is marked by the development of the elaborated preparation of flakes leading to the Levallois technology. Four climatic cycles were recognized, each with an alternance of a long cold phase and thinner tempered deposits. The now available radiometric datations place the last tempered phase around 120 to 100 000 years.
