Abstract
The paleolithic archeology in China had laid solid foundation by the researches at Zhoukoudian region in 1930s. Since 1949 over 1000 paleolithic sites have been found and studied in this country. The specimens yielded include human fossils of different stag es, over 100, 000 pieces of the stone artifacts, about 1000 bone and antler tools made by polishing or scraping, some decorated ornaments, a few bone tools with carved designs as well as plenty of fire using remains. Important results have also been obtained in related sciences such as experimental archeology, taphonomy, chronology, paleoclimate studies etc. More than one thousand papers and books on the paleolithic research in China have been published in latter half of this century.
