Houli Culture can be divided into Houli Type and Qianbuxia Type,which are presented by populations leading two different life styles,namely settlement-oriented and migration-oriented.The population of Houli Type could make full use of various animal and plant resources available in the region,thus narrowing the range of their activities.In terms of meat resources,the population of Qianbuxia Type preferred medium mammals and kept hunting prey on the move,thus shortening their stay time at one place.In the light of current discoveries and findings,the origin of Houli Type can be traced back to Zhangmatun Site,and the start of Qianbuxia Type may be related to Bianbiandong Site.
