Abstract :The first Palaeolithic artifact in the Altındere region was found by the archaeologist, Mr. Nurettin Can, in 1943, while he was doing military service in Antakya. Prof. Şevket Aziz Kansu, who studied this implement classified it in 1943 as Chellean and subsequently as Acheulean. Mr. Nurettin Can found three more pieces at Altındere in 1943. Dr. Kansu who studied these finds published the drawing of one of these three finds, that of a small hand-axe, in his article published in 1945.
