Bayburt is located in the interior parts of the Eastern Black Sea Region and the upper Çoruh Basin. The province of Bayburt hosted settlements in almost all prehistoric periods. There are very few researches on the Upper Coruh Basin in the Paleolithic and Epipaleolithic Ages, in particular, which, in turn, to the disadvantage of the region, resulted in unconscious and misleading evaluations on its history and archaeology. The convenience of the basin for human settlement and, in particular, an intensive degree of settlement from the late Chalcolithic and early Bronze Age onwards strengthen the possibility that it witnessed settlements from the Paleolithic Age onwards. The presence of a Lower and Middle Paleolithic camp and some tools in the valley of Gez stream -one of the tributaries of Coruh River- located in the upper part of the basin, along with the microliths and artifacts dated to the Epipaleolithic Age found in a cave located approximately 5 kilometers to the northeast of Bayburt confirm that, contrary to the presumptions, the region has been a place of human settlement from the earliest prehistoric periods onwards.
