Features: Since the geological research activities on the Quaternary in the Nihewan Basin began in the early 20th century, finding early Pleistocene human activity remains in the Nihewan Basin has become a dream for archaeologists both at home and abroad. Over the past decades, domestic and foreign experts and scholars have carried out extensive archaeological excavations and related research in the basin, achieving fruitful results. This book maximally incorporates the research findings of Paleolithic archaeology, paleoanthropology, stratigraphy, and chronology in the Nihewan Basin. It provides an in-depth analysis of the stone tool industry characteristics, dating, and the position of important Paleolithic cultural remains in the Paleolithic cultural sequence of the Nihewan Basin. The book is richly illustrated and serves as a comprehensive monograph on the study of Paleolithic culture in the Nihewan Basin.
