Abstract
UPPER PALÆOLITHIC CULTURE IN “UPPER CAVE” SEDIMENTS A DETAILED account of the results of the Choukoutien excavations up to May 1933 has already been presented in our memoir "Fossil Man hi China"(Mem. Geol. Surv. China, Series A, No. 11). In that report it was noted that above the Sinanthropus deposits there occurred towards the top of the hill a pocket of grey sediments of apparently modern facies, the site being described as the "Upper Cave". During the past season, Mr. W. C. Pei has systematically investigated the deposits of the latter site, ably assisted by Mr. M. N. Pien. Their efforts have been rewarded by the discovery of much additional material of unexpected archaeological significance.
