Cave of Dzhebel, Archaeological cave near Krasnovodsk Gulf, Turkmenistan.

Located in the Balkan Region of Turkmenistan, the Cave of Dzhebel contains multiple layers of archaeological remains along the Caspian Sea coast.

Alexey Okladnikov conducted excavations in 1949 and 1950, discovering artifacts from the Mesolithic, Neolithic, and early Bronze Age periods.

The lithic assemblage found within the cave includes microliths, asymmetric triangles, and small plates with blunt edges from prehistoric Central Asian societies.

Visitors need to coordinate with local authorities and archaeological institutions to access the site, which requires transportation arrangements from Balkanabat.
