Mammadali Murad Oglu Huseynov (Azerbaijani: Məmmədəli Murad oğlu Hüseynov) was an Azerbaijani and Soviet archaeologist. In 1960, Huseynov carried out excavations in the valleys of the Quruchay and Kondalanchay Rivers, in Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast of the Azerbaijan SSR. There, he discovered a fragment of the lower jaw of Homo erectus or Azykhantrop[1] in multi-layer sites of the Paleolithic epoch in Azykh and Tağlar Cave.[2]
