Early Late Pleistocene core-and-flake technocomplex in the Lower Yangzi region, China
The Miaodongyingdongnan lithic assemblage, dated to c . 70–100 ka, features a core-and-flake technocomplex that incorporates both simple and planned technologies. Distinct from the Early and Middle Pleistocene assemblages in the Lower Yangzi region, it signals a technological shift toward small-flake debitage and retouch systems during the Late Pleistocene.
Lithic technological transition in MIS3 revealed by the lithic assemblages of Liujia Locality 2, Central China
Liujia Locality 2, located at Central China, is a Paleolithic site with two cultural units. The luminescence dating results revealed that the lower unit ranges from MIS7 or 6 to MIS5, and the upper unit corresponds to MIS3. The lower cultural unit is characterized by heavy duty tools on large flakes of quartzite and quartz sandstone. In the upper cultural unit, rhyolitic tuff became the preferential raw material, and was used to produce small too…

Late Glacial lithic industry of the Xiaonanshan site: Implications for the Neolithisation in the Amur River basin
Xiaonanshan is an archaeological site dated to 16.5-13.5 cal kyr BP, situated beside the Ussuri River in China. The lithic assemblages feature microblade debitage, bifacial points and stone adzes, which provide important new materials for this project to explore Neolithisation in the Amur River basin of northeast Asia
Blade and microblade industry at Helong Dadong, north-east China, during Marine Isotope Stage 2
Characterised by the extensive use of obsidian, a blade-based tool inventory and microblade technology, the late Upper Palaeolithic lithic assemblages of the Changbaishan Mountains are associated with the increasingly cold climatic conditions of Marine Isotope Stage 2, yet most remain poorly dated. Here, the authors present new radiocarbon dates associated with evolving blade and microblade toolkits at Helong Dadong, north-east China. At 27 300-2…
Lithic miniaturization and hafted tools in early Late Pleistocene Salawusu, North China
The Paleolithic in the Nihewan Basin, China: Evolutionary history of an Early to Late Pleistocene record in Eastern Asia
The Nihewan Basin of China preserves one of the most important successions of Paleolithic archeological sites in Eurasia. Stratified archeological sites and mammalian fossils, first reported in the 1920s, continue to be recovered in large‐scale excavation projects. Here, we review key findings from archeological excavations in the Nihewan Basin ranging from ~1.66 Ma to 11.7 ka. We place particular emphasis on changes in stone tool technology over…
Lithic raw material economy at the Huayang site in Northeast China: Localization and diversification as adaptive strategies in the Late Glacial
The study of lithic raw material plays an important role in developing archeologists' understanding of the different adaptive strategies and behaviors of prehistoric people. In this paper, we present new evidence from the Huayang site that reveals lithic raw material procurement and exploitation strategies dating to around 14 ka cal. BP. The Huayang site is located in the southern portion of the Lesser Khingan Mountains in Northeast China, a key …
