Archaeologists have found 1.8-million-year-old stone tools belonging to ancient people during excavations near the village of Uruzmani in the Dmanisi region of southern Georgia.
“Archaeologists have found tools estimated to be 1.8 million years old, made by the ancient inhabitants of Eurasia. Scientists have also discovered one of the teeth of the lower jaw of ancient people in the soil layers,” Dmanisi Municipality said in a statement.
This discovery proves that this region is one of the oldest settlements of ancient people outside the borders of Africa. The office also notes that archaeologists discovered animal remains, as well as stone tools made by Homo erectus, during excavations in this region in 2021.
It is worth noting that the Dmanisi site has been of interest to archaeologists since the beginning of this century, when they found human remains 1.8 million years old. Georgian scholars proved that it belonged to a man and a woman and gave them the symbolic names Zisva and Mazia.
