Large quantities of artifacts made of stone, bone and horn have been unearthed at Chuandong Site in Puding County, southwest China's Guizhou Province, indicating prehistoric human activity dating back more than 55,000 years.
Chuandong Site, first discovered in 1978, is believed to have existed across the end of the middle Paleolithic Period, the late Paleolithic Period and the Neolithic Age.
Over two years of excavation work, the third one since 1978, researchers discovered a new soil layer at the site, where they found more than 100,000 animal bones, over 10,000 pieces of earthenware and stoneware, and more than 2,500 items made of bone or horn.
