Geography
Country: China
State: Jilin
Coordinate: 45.39° N, 122.96° E
Coordinate basis: based on nearby landmark
Time interval: Holocene
Ma: 0.009679

Geography comments: in Deshun, Taobei District, Baicheng City, Jilin Province (coordinate based on Shuangta Village)
there is an apparently uncalibrated radiocarbon date of 9550 +/- 45 BP on human bone in addition to thermoluminescence dates ranging from 9679 +/- 750 BP to 10,400 +/- 600 BP on pottery sherds; the radiocarbon date is entered here

Environment
Lithology: not described
Taphonomic context: human accumulation
Archaeology: ceramics,stone tools
Habitat comments: the excavation area was 1419 m2 and there are three stratigraphic layers
there are pottery fragments, microliths, and other artifacts, apparently in all layers
this is definitely a hunter-gatherer human accumulation based on extensive discussion in the text
a lithological description is apparently not provided

Sampling comments: the site was is covered in 1960 and this excavation was carried out in 2007
MNI counts are given but are apparently simple minimums of left and right NISP counts, so the latter are combined for entry
clams and snails are listed in Table 8
