Abstract
The paper deals with research at Paleolithic sites in the Seaside Dagestan . Using vast empirical material gained during archeological excavations, the author reconstructs main stages of development of material culture in the territory of the Seaside Dagestan during the Pleistocene, from the early settlement of the Caucasus (1,8-2 million years ago) to the Upper Paleolithic complexes connected with modern humans . The Early Paleolithic complexes from Rubas-1 and Darvagchai-1 sites allow us to consider the territory of Caucasus as one of the development centers of pre-Acheulian micro-industries .
