Abstract: The present report results from a tentative srudy of paleolith and fauna from Zhangnao Cave, Fang County, Hubei Province. The site belongs to cave accumulation, in which there are 12 mammalian fossil species and more than 2000 pieces of paleoliths. They can be divided into three types, that is, choppers, scrapers and points, and most of them are flake tools. The remanufacturing ways are various, but most of them are done in single face. It seems that Zhangnao Cave site represents a new cultural type of Late Paleolith in Yangtse valley. Its age is 13490±150 years.

Key words: Paleolith; Cave accumulation; Late Pleistocene
