Abstract: Some palaeolithic artifacts noted in this paper were found in the basal gravel (bearing Lamprotula) of the Reddish Clay in Hequ County, Shanxi Province, in 1979. The artifacts include five cores and five flakes and a single edge scraper (made of small flat pebble). The age may be late Middle Pleistocene based on geomorphological and stratigraphical evi_x001F_dences.
