Abstract: The present article deals with main types of platforms of flakes so 'far found in Chinese Paleolithic- industries. Two nearly neglected types of platforms are presented. The cutting platform is similar to the null platform but more cutting and its adjacent dorsal sura fee bears usually flake scars rather than the cortex. This type can be observed on typical bipolar flakes known in the Sinanthropus industry. The searred platform resembles the plain platform except for having some little scars.

Key words: Flake; Paleolithic
