Czechs TodayCzech archaeologists uncover Stone Age tools in Arbil, Iraq
Czech archaeologists are best-known for their work in Egypt, spanning five
decades, but some specialists have begun making headlines for excavation
work in a different part of the world: Mesopotamia – the cradle of
ancient civilisation that is now present-day Iraq. Recently an eight-member
team headed by Karel Nováček of the University of West Bohemia, returned
from northern Iraq after having uncovered Stone Age tools that were used by
either our ancestors or our distant relatives (Homo neanderthalensis). The
tools date back some 150,000 years, to the Middle Palaeolithic, the oldest
find of its kind in the city of Arbil in Kurdistan.
