ABSTRACT
Chinese Early Paleolithic site located in the Nihewan Basin of northern China. Since its discovery in 1978, several thousand fresh, unabraided stone artifacts have been recovered from a 20–50-cm layer of fine, sandy sediment that appears to date to at least 780 Ka and may exceed 1.0 Ma. The artifacts, fashioned on locally available cherty silicified rock, include simple flake cores and flakes, as well as some casually retouched flakes.
