- Abstract
Dating of recently discovered hearths at Shuidonggou, China suggests the spread of the Eurasian large blade technology was primarily from north to south. Shuidonggou is one of the few sites in North China that exhibits a systematic initial upper Paleolithic core-and-blade technology similar to that found farther north in Mongolia and Siberia. Due to unique position of Shuidonggou, dating of the depositional sequence at the site has received considerable attention. The distribution of the 12 hearths and its related features at Locality 2 suggests a pattern of simple, intermittent, short-term occupations by relatively small groups.
