List of caves in Azerbaijan

April 14, 2024

There are many natural caves in Azerbaijan. Most of these caves are karstic caves and the remainder are volcanic caves (lava tubes). These caves were also the first shelters and dwellings of Stone Age hominids and humans.

The lower jawbone of a hominid named Azykhantrop found in Azykh Cave is on display at the National Museum of History of Azerbaijan.[1]

Azykh Cave, one of the most famous caves of Azerbaijan, is known as the settlement of Stone Age hominids. It was determined that the cave was the settlement of the Acheulean and the Mousterian cultures. During the period of the Mousterian culture, Neanderthals lived in Azykh Cave.[2]
