Abstract

Abstract:

The Locality 10 of Wulanmulun River is the only one that has culture layers in all of the localities of the Wulanmulun River. It is far away Wulanmulun site about 9 kilometers. From the test excavation at the locality in 2013-2014, 789 specimen have been found in 3 excavation areas, included 356 stone artifacts. There are cores, flakes, tools and chunks. The tools appear with denticulates, scrapers, notches and tanged points. The raw material are mainly quartzite, and a little quartz and chert, which are normally seen from the bedrock of the old river. Considering of the cultural features and contrast with Wulanmulun site, it belongs to the late middle Paleolithic period.

Key words: Ordos, Wulanmulun River, Locality 10, Stone artifacts
