This edited volume describes the geology, stratigraphy,
anthropology, archaeology, dating, taphonomy, paleobotany,
paleontology and paleoecology of Azokh caves (also known as Azykh
or Azikh). The chapters review exhaustively the key recent research
on this limestone karstic site, which is located near the village
of the same name in the region of Nagorno Karabagh in the
south-eastern end of the Lesser Caucasus. The site is significant
due to its geographic location at an important migratory crossroad
between Africa and Eurasia. These caves contain an almost complete
sedimentary sequence of the transition between H.heidelbergensis
and H. neanderthalensis continuing to later Pleistocene and
Holocene stratified sediment. The site is also important due to the
discovery of Neanderthal remains by the current research group in
addition to the Middle Pleistocene hominin fossils during a
previous phase of excavation work led by M. Huseinov. At the heart
of this book is the matter of how this site relates to human
evolution.
