Baradost culture is an archaeological culture of the Early Upper Paleolithic in the region of the Zagros Mountains on the border of Iran and Iraq [1] . Replaces the local version of the Mousterian culture . According to radiocarbon analysis, her age is about 36 thousand years. The relationship of the baradost culture with neighboring cultures remains unclear. It is considered an early version of the Orinyak culture [2] . It was replaced by the Arzyan culture , possibly due to the cooling during the last phase of the ice age.
