Chinese scientists found a 12,000-year-old Paleolithic site at 4,300 meters in Tibet, the highest ancient human habitation site on the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Chinese archaeologists have discovered a Paleolithic site at over 4,300 meters near Tsungqen Co in Sichuan’s Garze Prefecture, the highest-altitude evidence of ancient human activity on the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Dating to about 12,000 years ago, the site contains over 190 stone tools from a microlithic industry, indicating repeated habitation during warmer climatic periods.
The findings, part of the Piluo complex recognized in 2021, provide key insights into early human adaptation to extreme high-altitude environments and fill a major gap in understanding human migration and survival on the “Third Pole.” Ongoing research aims to further reconstruct ancient lifeways and environmental conditions.
