Karain Cave
- Karain redirects here. Karain is also a fictional continent in Austin Tappan Wright's novel Islandia.
Karain Cave is a cave and a Paleolithic archaeological site located at Yağca village 27 km (17 mi) northwest of Antalya city in the Mediterranean region of Turkey.
Karain is a prehistoric cave, situated at a height of about 370 m from the sea and about 80 m up the slope, where the Western Taurus calcareous zone borders on the travertine plain. Evidence of human habitation dating back to the early Paleolithic age (150,000-200,000) years has been discovered in the caves, including a fragment of a Neanderthal skull.[1][2]
Museum of Anatolian Civilizations hosts an extensive collection of artifacts from the excavations at Karain. The people of Palaeolithic Age were hunter-gatherer communities living in caves. The stone and bone tools of the people of that Age are exhibited in the museum.
