Middle Palaeolithic Cultures

The mountain cave sites of Central Asia provide vital material for the archaeologist and the pre-historian in constructing an understanding of Asian Palaeolithic cultures. The stone tools and artefacts that have been uncovered in Northern India, Pakistan, the Hindu Kush, Kazakhstan and Mongolia allow us to comprehend aspects of the lifestyles and economy, and even the cultures and beliefs, of the societies that produced them.
