Abstract: The Cenjiawan Site is located at the southwest of Cenjiawan Village in Yangyuan County, Hebei Province (E. 114°40'; N. 40°14'). The artifacts unearthed there were deposited in the brown-red colour clay of Lower Nihewan Beds. Their geological age belongs to early Pleistocene. The artifacts layer is under the Xiaochangliang Site and Donggutuo Site. It is another important paleolithic site discovered in Nihewan Beds. The Cenjiawan artifacts were crudely manufactured and the stone implements include only scrapers. The artifacts are universally small and they may belong to the small stone tool tradition in North China.

Key words: Cenjijawan Site; Paleoliths; Lower Nihewan Beds; Early Pleistocene
