Description

Four tooth samples, collected from the 2nd, 3rd and 4th layer of a paleoanthropological site of Yinshan near Chaoxian are analyzed by ESR dating. Their ages are estimated to be 212 ka, 361ka, 363ka and 456ka respectively. The age of paleoanthropological fossils from the 2nd layer is about 200 ka, which is in good agreement with the results obtained by U-series dating or other methods for fauna remains as well as the paleoanthropological and paleontological evidence
