Karain Cave / Antalya

This cave is famous for the numerous paleolithic remains found here, some dated to be 160,000 years old. Beneath human remains, the bones of cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) and horses were discovered. Most of the finds are about 50,000 years old, when the cave was used as a shelter for some time. The findings can be visited in a little museum at the entrance of Karain Cave. But most of the artifacts are now in various museums throughout Turkey. The pre-history section of Antalya Museum shows more finds.
