THE TSAGAN-AGUI CAVE (MONGOLIA): PLEISTOCENE STRATIGRAPHY, ARCHEOLOGY, AND PALEOECOLOGY

Abstract

First results on stratigraphy, archeology, and paleoecology in the Tsagan-Agui Cave (Mongolia) are discussed. The palynological analysis along with radiothermoluminescence and magnetostratigraphic dating allowed the stratigraphic units to be defined in the stratified sequence of cave deposits and the archeological complexes to be dated. The archeological complexes of the Tsagan-Agui Cave are correlated with those from the Flint Valley and Narin-Gol open-air sites.
