Ganj Par, Paleolithic archaeological site in Gilan Province, Iran.
Located on an ancient terrace of the Sefid Rud River, Ganj Par contains numerous stone artifacts including hand axes and chopping tools.
The Center for Paleolithic Studies of the Iranian National Museum discovered this significant Lower Paleolithic site during archaeological excavations in 2002.
The stone artifacts found at Ganj Par demonstrate early human manufacturing techniques and connections with similar tools discovered in the Caucasus region.
Researchers can examine approximately 150 recovered artifacts made from limestone, magmatic rock, and sandstone at the Iranian National Museum.
Ganj Par represents the first documented evidence of Lower Paleolithic human occupation in the Southern Caspian Basin of Iran.
