Abstract: The newly discovered mammalian fauna from Changping of Shangli County in Pingxiang in 2014-2015 is the richest site among the few Pleistocene fossil localities in Jiangxi Province. Up to now, thousands of mammalian teeth have been unearthed from the Yangjiawan Cave 1, which can be referred to 40 species (including undetermined species). Among the taxa, Sus scrofa is the dominant species, other important taxa include cervids, Hystrix, Ursus thibetanus, small carnivores, Capricornis, Bubalus, Rhinoceros and primates, but elephant and tapir are rare. Among the contemporary fossil sites of Central China, angjiawan Cave 1 bears the richest monkey fossils, and the carnivores are also much more diversified. The extinct taxa include Ailuropoda baconi, Crocuta ultima, Felis teilhardi, Stegodon orientalis and Megatapirus augustus. In faunal composition, the Yangjiawan Cave 1 is very similar to the Fuyan Cave in Hunan Province, which is a human site of early Late Pleistocene, i.e. 80 ka-120 ka BP.
