Abstract: Two Paleolithic sites were discovered separately at Gongjiashan and Daguling of Xinyu city, Jiangxi Province in December 1989. Nine stone artifacts were obtained in situ from reddish clay of the second terrace of Yuan River as well as 40 pieces were collected on the surface of terrace. They include cores, flakes, scrapers, chopper and spherical stone. Judging from the stratigraphy and the characters of stone artifacts, the sites may belong to the Late Pleistocene or Upper Paleolithic temporarily.
