Summary
- This project was undertaken to obtain a more precise understanding of the characteristics and age for the Levallois-Mousterian in the region and compare the results to other similar regions. They hypothesize their results are representative of a later (than previously thought) movement of archaic Homo sapiens from central and southest Europe into Greece after the beginning of the last glacial, lending support to the Replacement Theory of modern Homo sapiens
