Azokh Cave and the Transcaucasian Corridor
Azokh Cave and the Transcaucasian Corridor[electronic resource] /edited by Yolanda Fernández-Jalvo, Tania King, Levon Yepiskoposyan, Peter Andrews. - 1st ed. 2016. - XVII, 349 p. 174 illus., 67 illus. in color.online resource. - Vertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology,1877-9077. - Vertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology,.

Introduction: Azokh Caves and the Transcaucasian corridor -- Stratigraphy and Sedimentology of Azokh Caves, South Caucasus -- Geology and Geomorphology of Azokh Caves -- Lithic Assemblages Recovered from Azokh 1 -- Azokh Cave Hominin Remains -- The New Material of Large Mammals from Azokh and Comments on the Older Collections -- Rodents, Lagomorphs and Insectivores from Azokh Cave -- Bats from Azokh Caves -- Amphibians and Squamate Reptiles from Azokh 1 -- Taphonomy and Site Formation of Azokh 1 -- Bone Diagenesis at Azokh Caves -- Coprolites, Paleogenomics and Bone Content Analysis -- Palaeoenvironmental Context of Coprolites and Plant Microfossils from Unit II, Azokh 1 -- Charcoal Remains from Azokh 1: Preliminary Results -- Paleoecology of Azokh 1 -- Appendices.

his 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.
