Abstract :The joint excavations of Istanbul and California Universities at the Cave of Yarımburgaz during the field seasons of 1988-1990 were exclusively aimed to shed light on the Pleistocene cultures of the site. A Lower Paleolithic industry, similiar to the ones found in central, southern and eastern Europe was encountered in association with a diverse mammalian fauna. Studies showed that cave bears constitute 93% of all macromammal specimens recovered, interspersed with 1675 lithic finds. Using electron spin resonance, the site is dated to the middle of the Middle Pleistocene.Keywords : Paleolltlk, Taşbulgu, Çakmaktaşı, Mağara ayısı, Yarımburgaz
