Abstract
The article discusses early Levallois stone tool technology and the lower to middle Paleolithic transition in the Southern Caucasus. The authors discuss their data from the site Nor Geghi 1 in Armenia, which is the earliest recorded use of bifacial and Levallois technology outside Africa and which is consistent with the authors' hypothesis that this transition occurred independently within geographically dispersed hominin populations that shared a technological ancestry.
