===Asia===
* '''Syria/Israel''': Excavated within a stratigraphic column containing tools from this culture.<ref name=Langer/>
* '''India''': the open-air stratified prehistoric site of [[Attirampakkam]], India, has shown that processes signifying the end of the Acheulian culture and the emergence of a Middle Palaeolithic culture occurred at 385 ± 64 thousand years ago.

* '''Iran''': Levallois products have been discovered in Middle Paleolithic sites of the Zagros region including Bisitun cave, Warwasi, Darai, Kunji, Do-Ashkaft. There are a number of Middle Paleolithic sites in Central Iran that yielded Levallois flakes and blades including Mirak, Niasar, and Parvadeh.<ref>Dibble, H.L.

When they excavated the location, twelve localities were founded and had an age range of roughly 40,000–10,000 BP. Out of the twelve localities, SDG1 proved to be most important with the discovery of numerous unique, elongated blanks and Levallois-like cores found.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Peng|first1=Fei|last2=Wang|first2=Huimin|last3=Gao|first3=Xing|title=Blade production of Shuidonggou Locality (Northwest China): A technological perspective|journal=Quaternary International|date=2014|doi=10.1016/j.quaint.2014.04.041|volume=347|pages=12–20|bibcode=2014QuInt.347...12P |doi-access=free}}</ref>
