Ancient Settlement in Ningxia, China.
One of the earliest Paleolithic site excavations of China, with human occupation dating to 32000 years ago.
"Some sites are characterized by small, irregular flakes, casually retouched tools and small numbers of blades or no blades. In addition to blades, microblades and hearths, perforated and polished ostrich egg-shell beads, mostly colored with red ochre, were recovered from three sites. Several worked bone needles and an awl were also uncovered from the youngest site, SDG12, in deposits dating about 13,000 years ago."
