Abstract
Dating is basic for archaeological and paleontological investigations and results of different dating methods used in Azokh caves are described in this chapter. Fossils from Azokh were not dated by any method previously. Lithic technology and taxonomy suggested a middle Pleistocene age for Unit V (from where Acheulian industries and a human mandible fragment were recovered) while Units III and II yielded Mousterian industries indicating middle Paleolithic ages. Dates from Azokh by Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) previously published elsewhere were given before final calculations and they slightly differ from those given in this Appendix, which are the definitive dating results.
