Abstract

In April, 2021, the School of Archaeology of Jilin University and the Liaoning Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology conducted a Paleolithic archaeological survey in Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province. The archaeological team traversed the three counties of Halaqinzuoyi Mongolian Autonomous County, Chaoyang County, and Beipiao City, and found more than 10 Paleolithic sites, among which the **agachacunnanshan site is one of them. Investigators found 33 stone artifacts at the **agachacunnanshan site, including cores, flakes, and tools. The raw materials of these stone artifacts is mainly quartz, quartz sandstone, and sandstone. According to the types of stone artifacts and pottery pieces collected, it is inferred that the stone industry of the site belongs to the small stone tool industry of the Late Paleolithic period, and the site should be dated from the Late Paleolithic to the Bronze Age.
