Located in the Central Anatolian Volcanic Province, Kaletepe Deresi 3 was discovered in the summer of 2000 and has been under investigation since that time. Volcanic activity in the region generated a number of obsidian intrusions that have attracted humans to the area throughout prehistory. The stratigraphic sequence at Kaletepe Deresi 3, more than 7 m in depth, presents a series of archaeological horizons representing the Lower and Middle Paleolithic. The site contains the longest open-air Paleolithic sequence excavated in Turkey, as well as the first in situ Acheulean industry documented in Anatolia. Tephras in the upper Middle Paleolithic horizons and the rhyolithic bedrock bracket the timespan represented at Kaletepe Deresi 3. The lithic industry at the site illustrates a wide range of technological behaviors and documents changes in raw-material exploitation and artifact manufacture through the Lower and Middle Paleolithic.
卡莱特佩德雷西3号遗址位于安纳托利亚中部火山省，于2000年夏天被发现，自那时起便一直处于调查之中。该地区的火山活动形成了大量黑曜石侵入体，在整个史前时期都吸引着人类来到这个地区。卡莱特佩德雷西3号遗址的地层序列深度超过7米，呈现出一系列代表旧石器时代早期和中期的考古层位。该遗址包含了在土耳其发掘出的最长的露天旧石器时代序列，以及安纳托利亚记录的首个原地阿舍利文化工业。旧石器时代中期上部层位的火山灰层和流纹岩基岩界定了卡莱特佩德雷西3号遗址所代表的时间跨度。该遗址的石器工业展示了广泛的技术行为，并记录了旧石器时代早期和中期原材料开采及器物制造的变化。
