Abstract

Palaeolithic sites occurring in travertine and recorded in the Piedmont zone of Central Asia as well as in some other regions of Eurasia, probably represent a specific adaptation by ancient humans to the local environment. The industrial complexes at the sites have a distinctive micro-industrial character that may be used as evidence that a major area of identical Early Palaeolithic cultures existed on the vast continent of Eurasia.
