Geochronology of Ailuropoda–Stegodon fauna and Gigantopithecus in Guangxi Province, southern China
Pleistocene faunas from south China are difficult to subdivide based on the long temporal ranges of many taxa and a reduced number of genera in comparison to faunas from temperate north China. In south China, the Ailuropoda–Stegodon fauna is a very general one and includes a relatively stable suite of genera that apparently persisted for long periods of time. These attributes have made constraining its time range difficult. Application of electro…
Editors' Corner
Editors' Corner Deborah Bekken, Laura Lee Junker, and Anne Underhill We would like to introduce ourselves as the new Editors of Asian Perspectives. Deborah Bekken earned her Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1994. She is a faunal specialist and has worked extensively on Pleistocene assemblages in China. More recently, she has analyzed faunal remains from Neolithic sites (Liangchengzhen) and Shang sites in Shandong Provi…
Stegodon orientalis from Panxian Dadong, a Middle Pleistocene archaeological site in Guizhou, South China
Lithic Raw Material Use at the Late Middle Pleistocene Site of Panxian Dadong
The possibility of selective use of lithic raw material in the Middle Pleistocene cave deposits of Panxian Dadong is examined in order to evaluate hominid strategies of resource management. Limestone, chert, and basalt, available in or nearby the cave, were differentially used for the production of tools and unretouched flakes. Limestone was predominantly used to produce expedient tools, unretouched flakes were most commonly made of basalt, and c…
Taxonomic Abundance at Panxian Dadong, a Middle Pleistocene Cave in South China
The faunal assemblage from the site of Panxian Dadong provides evidence for a general continuity in species representation throughout a period of approximately 120 kya. Taxonomically, faunal material from Dadong includes classic taxa of the Middle Pleistocene Ailuropoda-Stegodon faunal complex of South China. Taxonomic abundance measures document a sample that is rich in large ungulate species including rhinoceros, stegodonts, and large bovids. T…
