In February 2020,the Institute of Cultural Heritage Conservation and other units con-ducted a trial excavation at the Paleolithic Lianzhuang site in Tanghe County of Henan Province.The excavation area was 4 m by 4 m.A total of 30 stone tools and one ivory bone were collected.The stone tools consist of cores,complete flakes,fragments,and secondary and tertiary tools.Based on the strati-graphic deposits,the combination of stone tools,and comparisons with surrounding Paleolithic sites,it is inferred that the geological age of this Paleolithic site is from the Middle Pleistocene,thus identifying the site as a Lower Paleolithic site.
