Abstract:
The timing, routes of dispersal and identity of the earliest European populations are among the most important unresolved questions of European palaeoanthropolgy. Greece lies on the hypothesized dispersal corridor from Africa through the Near East into Europe and is the gateway into the continent through which migrant populations have repeatedly passed. Nonetheless, Greek palaeolithic archaeology and palaeoanthropology remain largely unexplored. The first season of the three-year West Macedonia Palaeolithic Survey was undertaken in the spring of 2004 with the aim of locating new palaeolithic and palaeontological/palaeoanthropological sites. The project is sponsored by the Ephoreia of Palaeoanthropology-Speleology of S. Greece and the American School of Classical Studies at Athènes. The focus of the survey was the river terraces of Aliakmon, in the area delimited west of Palaeo- kastro, east of Amygdalea and north of Grevena.Forty eight fossil specimens dated to the Late Pliocene - Early Pleistocene were collected. Twenty two lithic artifacts of mostly Late Pleistocene (Middle and Upper Palaeolithic) were also collected.The most promising regions to be searched in the next two years are the Kostarazi localities and the area of Polyphytos Lake, near Kozani.
