Early Late Pleistocene core-and-flake technocomplex in the Lower Yangzi region, China
The Miaodongyingdongnan lithic assemblage, dated to c . 70–100 ka, features a core-and-flake technocomplex that incorporates both simple and planned technologies. Distinct from the Early and Middle Pleistocene assemblages in the Lower Yangzi region, it signals a technological shift toward small-flake debitage and retouch systems during the Late Pleistocene.
