In Dmanisi (a town and archaeological site in the Kvemo Kartli region of Georgia), the archaeologists found the stone tools made by the ancient inhabitants of Eurasia, dating back 1.8 million years. As the City Hall of Dmanisi Municipality reported, the excavations were carried out with the active involvement and support of the City Hall.
The presentation of the discovery at the Orozmani site was held today in the village of Kvemo Orozmani. The monument was inspected and the tooth found was presented to the press and the general public.
The first archeological excavations in the territory of Orozmani were carried out in 2021, during which, the stone tools made by the ancient inhabitants of Eurasia (Homo erectus) and the remains of extinct animals were discovered.
