There is a considerable body of studies regarding the activities of the Pleistocene human population in the Zagros and Alborz regions of Iran, as well as significant progress in the Palaeolithic studies in other regions, such as the foothills, plains and deserts’ margins. However, some of these peripheral regions and foothills are still neglected, and the information about the Palaeolithic period in these areas is limited. Khuzestan province, especially its northern regions, is one of these unstudied regions, yet the limited information about this region seems very interesting. Khervali, located on the western foothills of the Zagros Mountains and on the northern heights of Susa, nearby the western bank of the Karkheh River, is one of the few Palaeolithic sites identified in recent years. The site was identified in 2012 and was systemically surveyed. Due to the extension of the site and the distribution of the artefacts, sampling all the site was not feasible, therefore, four sections of the site were chosen for taking the samples and a total of 330 stone artefacts were collected. The results of the techno-typology analyses, as well as the frequency of the flakes, the Levallois samples and different types of scrapers, revealed that the artefacts date to the middle Palaeolithic period, with considerable access to the local raw materials. IZVLE∞EK – πtevilne ∏tudije se ukvarjajo z vpra∏anjem aktivnosti ljudi v ≠asu paleolitika v gorovju Zagros in regiji Alborz v Iranu, velik pa je tudi napredek pri paleolitskih ∏tudijah na drugih obmo≠jih kot so predgorja, ravnine in obronki pu∏≠av. Ne glede na to ∏e vedno ostajajo obrobna obmo≠ja in predgorja, ki so manj raziskana in imamo o njih le malo podatkov iz ≠asa paleolitika. Tak∏no obmo≠je je tudi severni del Kuzestana, ≠eprav so ti podatki zelo zanimivi. Eno redkih prepoznanih paleolitskih najdi∏≠ je Kervali, ki se nahaja v zahodnem predgorju Zagrosa in na severnih vi∏avjih Suse. Najdi∏≠e je bilo odkrito in sistemati≠no raziskano leta 2012. Je zelo veliko in ima veliko povr∏inskih artefaktov, kar pomeni, da ni bilo mo≠ izvesti vzor≠enja na celotni povr∏ini, ampak smo le-to razdelili na ∏tiri dele in pobrali 330 kamnitih artefaktov. Na podlagi rezultatov tehnolo∏ko-tipolo∏ke analize, pogostnosti kamnitih odlomkov, vzorcev orodij, izdelanih z Levallois tehniko in razli≠nih praskal, smo lahko najdbe datirali v ≠as srednjega paleolitika in sklepamo, da so imeli takratni ljudje dober dostop do lokalnih surovin.
