Location of the archaeological finds of the Ordosian culture.
The Ordosian culture, sometimes referred to as the Ordos culture.[1] is a culture documented in the Ordos Plateau, in the south of the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China, from the Upper Palaeolithic.[2][3]
The points and sides of their tools indicate a "Moustero-Levalloisian" element. They seemed to have a masterful knowledge of Upper Palaeolithic technology, producing blades as much as fifteen centimeters long.[2]
