The first chapter introduces Paleolithic art from European sites. Subsequent chapters give detailed technical descriptions of the formation, cultural findings, and fossils of principal Paleolithic sites in China, especially the Lower Paleolithic Choukoutien Peking Man site discovered in 1929 and the millennia later Upper Paleolithic Hetao (Ordos) Man site of the Ordos Loop of the Yellow River and the Upper Choukoutien Cave site. Cultural findings from the Peking Man site consist mainly in the use of fire and roughly manufactured stone tools. Those from the Hetao site indicate advances in group production and social organization. Those from the Upper Cave site consist of fine bone tools, along with pebble, bone, and shell ornaments, some polished and some dyed with hematite. The Upper Cave ancestors of the Chinese people had a prosperous clan society, buried their dead, acquired shells from 200 km away. 410 0$aHistory Series 606 $aPrehistoric peoples 606 $aAnimal remains (Archaeology) 606 $aCultural property 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aEnvironmental archaeology 606 $aPrehistoric Archaeology 606 $aBiological-Osteo-Archaeology 606 $aArchaeology and Heritage 606 $aEnvironmental Archaeology 615 0$aPrehistoric peoples. 615 0$aAnimal remains (Archaeology) 615 0$aCultural property. 615 0$aArchaeology. 615 0$aEnvironmental archaeology. 615 14$aPrehistoric Archaeology. 615 24$aBiological-Osteo-Archaeology. 615 24$aArchaeology and Heritage. 615 24$aEnvironmental Archaeology. 676 $a930.1 700 $aPei$b Wenzhong$f1904-1982$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01852311 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910992794303321 996 $aPaleontological Writings of Pei Wenzhong$94447303 997 $aUNINA
