A Preliminary Report of the Paleolithic Site of Fulongguan from Yunxian, Hubei

The Fulongguan Paleolithic site in Yunxian, Hubei Province is located on the fourth terrace of the mid2upper Hanshui River. The stratigraphy of the Fulongguan site (from top to bottom) is divided into four distinct layers including red clay, yellow clay, white fine sand, and brown gravel. Mammalian fossils and stone artifacts are found in situ in the white fine sand. Mammalian fossils include Hystrix subcrstata, Cuon javanicus, Ursus thibetamus, Arctonyx collaris, Paguma larvata, Stegodon orientalis, Tapirus sinensis, Rhinoceros sinensis, Sus lyddekeri, Rusa yunnanensis, Naemorhedus goral, Bubalus sp and so on. The Fulongguan faunas belong to the Ailuropoda-Stegodon group. Stone artifacts include cores, flakes, and tools such as scrapers, choppers, and picks, with the latter two tools representing very important types at the site. The geological age of the site is comparable to the“Yun2xian man”site, and is attributed to the upper Lower Pleistocene. The lithic culture is attributed to the pebble stone tradition of the Changjiang River.
