Title: Acheulean handaxes from Fengshudao, Bose sites of South China
Abstract: Fengshudao (Guangxi province, southern China), adjacent to the northern part of the Bose basin, has yielded a lithic assemblage rich in handaxes. Through tektite dating, the site is estimated at 800 ka. The study provides elements regarding the technical characteristics of this material, giving evidence that an Acheulian population (practicing the mode II technology) settled in Fengshudao. This lithic assemblage clearly prefigures parts of the Levallois operating procedure.
