Abstract: | In the past years we carried out further stratigraphy division in field and it is found that rich stone artifacts can be found
in fluvial-shallow lake-alluvial sediments on the terrace II of Biangou River, in Shuidonggou site, Ningxia and they are SDG1,
2 and 7. More luminescence and AMS 14C dating in laboratory show that Paleolithic culture develops during the Upper Paleolithic period with ages of 35–20 ka. The
Paleolithic culture of SDG 1 is a little earlier than that of SDG 2 similar to SDG 7. The sandy sediments on terrace II of
Biangou River deposits in the past 72–18 ka, corresponding to Last Glacial. SDG2 has a stable sedimentary environment, resulting
in the continuous stratigraphy, thickest deposits and rich environment and culture information, which can be regarded as the
important and classic paleoanthropological section of Late Pleistocene in this region. |
