Abstract
From 2016 through 2018, Guangdong Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and other institutions excavated the Qingtang site, the foci of which were concentrated in Caves 1–4 of Huangmenyan locality. The excavation recovered burials and hearths and unearthed human bone fossils, lithic products, pottery wares, implements made of shell, bone, and horn (antler), as well as faunal and botanical remains, in total over 10,000 pieces. The remains of this site could be divided into four phases from the earliest to the latest, which provided important data for the studies on the cultures in South China and Southeast Asia during the transitional period from Paleolithic to Neolithic Ages.
