Paleolithic. Acheulian Age:Basically Acheulian material culture is associated with the existence of Homo ergaster, Homo antecessor and Homo Heidelbergensis. Human Resettlement The Acheulian monuments are much more widespread than the Olduvai monuments: they are known in Africa, the Fore, South and South-East Asia. A lot of them in South and Western Europe - in France, England, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, Yugoslavia. In Middle Europe, they are much smaller. In the North-Eastern Eurasia, the Acheulian monuments are few and refer to the second half of the Acheul. They are confined to the southern regions - the Caucasus and Ciscaucasia, Moldova, Transnistria and the Azov Sea, Central Asia and Kazakhstan, Altai, Mongolia. The population of a particular region depended largely on the natural conditions of the Pleistocene. During the glacial periods, progress in the northern and temperate regions was very limited, on the contrary, during the interglacial periods, when the natural conditions were much softer, a person could learn new spaces. The wide distribution of monuments excludes the possibility of Acheulian man's penetration into this vast territory from a single center. However, the small size of the material makes reconstruction of settlement paths quite controversial. People could come from the Near East to Transcaucasia, the North Caucasus, to the Kuban, from Western and Central Europe - to the Russian plain. The territory of North Asia could be populated, at least, in two directions - from the Fore and South-East Asia, Mongolia. Among the Acheulean monuments stand out - parking lot. The habitats of ancient people, in the study of which are found cultural strata, which are in agreement with geological stratigraphy, and location - the location of the finds of objects of a particular era, without regard to the cultural layer and stratigraphy, very often the results of fees on the surface .
