Abstract Central Asia represents a key region for our understanding of early human dispersal patterns, because it served as a migration corridor that linked the Levant and southern Caucasus with Northeast Asia. However, no Early Palaeolithic sites in Central Asia are anchored with reliable age constraints, including the thick loess-palaeosol sections in Tajikistan that recorded early human activities and environmental changes over multiple glacial-interglacial cycles.

Abstract Here, we present the first soil isotopic record in association with Paleolithic occupations in the Khovaling Loess Plateau of Southern Tajikistan, Central Asia. This region has been the focus of numerous archaeological projects since Soviet times as it contains evidence of some of the oldest (~0.9 Ma) hominin occupations in Central Asia and is one of the key regions connecting eastern Asia to centers of hominin evolution that lie to the west.
