Eşek Deresi Cave provides a new Late Epipalaeolithic sequence in the Central Taurus Mountains, radiocarbon dated to c . 13 200–10 700 years cal BC. Here, the authors present preliminary analyses of finds excavated between 2021 and 2024, which indicate links to contemporaneous sites in Central Anatolia and the Levant.
