Description:
Panxian Dadong (Guizhou province, southwestern China) is an archaeological cave site within an elaborate multi-genesis karst system that contains three stacked caves. Collaborative Sino-American archaeological excavation and multi-disciplinary studies have been in progress since 1996. An Ailuropoda-Stegodon faunal assemblage along with lithics and human teeth has been recovered from the deeply stratified deposits. The represented taxa are generally indicative of a Middle Pleistocene biostratigraphic age. Fifteen mammalian fossil teeth were collected during the 1998-2000 excavations. The enamel was dated by conventional ESR and coupled ESR/U-series dating techniques. The ESR early uptake (EU) and linear uptake (LU) model ages range from 120-300 ka. Uranium-thorium results from four dentine samples depict a variety of uptake histories the samples have undergone throughout the entire 6-m depth of the excavation units. The coupled ages suggest that samples at Panxian Dadong demonstrate linear uptake model behavior and indicate the true burial ages for the tooth samples. The upper and lower unit has mean LU ESR ages of 156+/-17 ka and 258+/-47 ka, respectively.

Description:
Thermoluminescence (TL) dating of pottery and infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) dating of sediments from early Neolithic layers at the Jiahu site, Henan Province, east-central China, have been achieved. The pottery TL ages range from 6800 (+/-450) to 8900 (+/-640) years and the sediment IRSL ages from 6750 (+/-760) to 8860 (+/-870) years confirming former ^1^4C data. Both TL and IRSL ages agree well with each other. They reinforce the very early existence of a fully developed Neolithic civilization in central China, starting already in the first half of the 7th millennium BC and lasting about 2100 years. From these layers finds of bone flutes and Chinese characters have already been reported [X. Li, G. Harbottle, J. Zhang, C. Wang, The earliest writing? Sign use in the seventh millennium BC at Jiahu, Henan Province, China, Antiquity 77 (2003) 31-44; J. Zhang, G. Harbottle, C. Wang, Z. Kong, Oldest playable musical instruments found at Jiahu early Neolithic site in China, Nature 401 (1999) 366-368.] The Jiahu pottery of the 7th millennium BC belongs to the earliest in China and elsewhere.
