'Amirkhanov HA, 1999: Archaeological evidence for an early homind migration to the Arabian peninsula. Anthropologie (Brno) 37, 1: 45-50'.

Abstract

This chapter examines the little known archaeological record of Southern Arabia, reports on the results of fieldwork there, and documents that the earliest hominid occupation there dates to at least the lower Pleistocene. The documentation of Developed Oldowan industries there, found in clear archaeological contexts, not only indicates hominid presence but also reveals another route used by hominids to colonize Eurasia.
