Jinniushan Site, Paleolithic archaeological site in Yingkou, China
The Jinniushan Site stands on an isolated mountain, rising 70 meters above sea level with three distinct deposits from the Fourth Age.
Four excavations between 1974 and 1978 revealed numerous animal fossils, fire pits containing burnt bones, earth, charcoal, and stone implements.
The stone tools found at Jinniushan demonstrate advanced manufacturing techniques through hammering and smashing, indicating early human technological development.
The site contains a 30-centimeter thick ash layer with preserved round ash heaps, burnt clay, and animal bones from rabbits, mice, and deer.
The skeletal remains discovered at Jinniushan belong to a female with an estimated body mass of 78.6 kilograms, the largest female hominin in fossil records.
