Although early hominins are known to have occupied Turkey, with numerous finds of Lower Palaeolithic artefacts documented, the chronology of their dispersal has little reliable stratigraphical or geochronological constraint, sites are rare, and the region&#039;s hominin history remains poorly understood as a result. Here, we present a Palaeolithic artefact, a hard-hammer flake, from fluvial sediments associated with the Early Pleistocene Gediz River of Western Turkey. This previously documented buried river terrace sequence provides a clear stratigraphical context for the find and affords opportunities for independent age estimation using the numerous basaltic lava flows that emanated from nearby volcanic necks and aperiodically encroached onto the contemporary valley floors.

These results suggest that hominin occupation of the valley occurred within a time period spanning ∼1.24&amp;nbsp;Ma to ∼1.17&amp;nbsp;Ma, making this the earliest, securely-dated, record of hominin occupation in Anatolia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
