ANTIQUITY(2022)
Abstract
This article presents preliminary results from mountain survey in the Charkal Range in the western Tian Shan piedmonts, eastern Uzbekistan. In 2021, several new Palaeolithic sites were discovered, including a single, multi-layered, open-air site-Kuksaray 2-located near a flint outcrop. The authors' initial investigations have recovered a stone tool assemblage containing tools displaying both Middle Palaeolithic and Initial Upper Palaeolithic characteristics.
