Stratigraphically,the deposits constist of 11 layers,more than 18 meters in thickness.Twenty stone artifacts were collected from this site in 2000. The original position of the artifacts can be traced to the fifth paleosol layer.Artifacts consist of flakes, cores, scrapers, chopper/chopping tools, spheroids, etc. Hornfel is the most frequently used raw material. The chopper-chopping tools are the majority of the stone tools, and can be further classified into side choppers, side chopping tools and end choppers.Based on the analysis of geomorphology and stratigraphy, the age of Tutang Site has been (estima-)ted to be the Middle Pleistocene, i. e. the Lower Paleolithic.
