Dr. Kökten gives the following information in the note he gave me about these fossils: "This summer (1949), in the lower large cavity of the Karain cave (Antalya-Yağca village), which I have been excavating on behalf of the Turkish Historical Society for three years, there was a root with a broken upper part at the Musterian I level, and a small chamber of the upper large cavity of the same cave, which I named D: containing fossil animal bones and tools of the Musterian II and Aurignacian types. I found a molar tooth at the upper level of the thick, cemented midden layer.
