Abstract: One hundred and forty-eight Paleolithic artifacts found from eighteen different sites in Changxing county, Zhejiang province are described in this paper. Three of them are from a layer of laterite (reticular mottled red clay) and purple clay. All other artifacts were collected from the ground surface. Polyhedral cores and picks account for a large proportion of this lithic assemblage. The edges of the heavy points tend to be mostly rounded rather than sharp. It should be noted as to whether this is the character of the local Paleolithic industry in this area. Two specimens have been dated to later Lower Paleolithic sequence.

Key words: Changxing county; Paleolithic artifacts; Laterite
