Shandingdong man

Shandingdong man (山顶洞人) is an archaeological modern specimen for the cave of Shanding (山顶洞人), one of the upper caves of Zhoukoudian Cave Site in China.

The analysis of the remains gave two carbon dates: one date for animal remains at a layer deeper than that of the Shandingdong man, of 18,870 +/- 420 BP, and one date from remains associated with the Shandingdong man to 10,770 +/- 360 BP. The Shandingdong man was buried at the site, with various ornaments, such as polished perforated pebbles, characteristic of the end of the Paleolithic period.
