Abstract: Several stone artifacts and some mammalian fossils were recovered in 1963 in the sandy gravels under the Malan Loess at Dabeigou. Qianxian in Shaanxi. The age of the stone artifacts seems to be of Upper Pleistocene on the basis of associated fauna, such as Equus prcowalskyi, Corlodon^a antiquitais Mcgaloccros sp.
There is another specimen made of quartzite, collected from the surface at Longt-au near Dabeigou. It is large, pointed, rouglily flaked alternately, with much of the original cortex left unrptouched on its basal part. The implement is similar to the heavy triangular point from Piagliang. Lantian rather than the biface from Shanugou, Ding- cun. Judging by the technique, it is believed to be of paleolithic.
