Abstract: In recent years many stone artefacts were collected from Baise basin, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Some of them were considered as hand-axes by some archaeologists. Author of this paper restudied and analysed these specimens and believes they are not the typical hand-axes. Some of them are chopping-tools and pick-like implement, and others are core-axes.

Key words: Hand-axe; Paleolithic; Baise basin
