“…Late Palaeolithic sites are common in the Korean Peninsula, where modern Homo sapiens remains (Turubong Hungsugul and Chommal caves) are estimated to date to c. 40,000 yr bp , based on associated faunal assemblages and uranium series dates (Norton, 2000). Late Palaeolithic occupation levels at the Korean open‐air site of Hahwakeri have been radiocarbon‐dated to c. 42,000 yr bp (Kim et al. , 2004).…”

“…The 4th and 5th columns, which represent the activity ratios 226 Ra/ 238 U and 214 Pb/ 226 Ra, respectively, show a significant difference between group A and group B sites. In our previous study [3], we found that the total carbon extracted from paleosols of group A yielded 14 C dates that were equal to those obtained from charcoals of the same cultural layer. Therefore, the above-mentioned ratios of U-series activity can be used as validation criteria for the 14 C dates derived directly from paleosols.…”

“…In AMS 9 in 2003 at Nagoya, we presented our work [3] on the 14 C AMS dating of paleosols from Paleolithic sites and here we present our continued effort to search for the possibility to characterize paleosols by measuring natural radioactivity. Table 1 shows the results of the measurements of the activity ratios of paleosols from various Paleolithic sites.…”

“…The first two dates places the occupation of the site around 30,500–28,000 cal BP at 2σ (Table 1 and Figure 4, jan1 and jan2 ). Although other authors (Seong 2011) have accepted these dates, I will not take them into account since a more recent study (Kim et al 2004) dated the sediments of the same cultural layer using AMS radiocarbon dating and obtained a much more recent dating, between ca. 22,500 to 18,000 cal BP at 2σ (Table 1 and Figure 4, jan3 to jan7 ).…”

This article is a critical review of published data from the earliest evidence of pressure knapped microblade technology from various regions in Northeast Asia (Siberia, Korea, China, Mongolia, Japan, Sakhalin, and Russian Far East), including discussions not only on published dates, but also on published artifacts (drawings and photos) relating to these assemblages. The issue concerning the geographical and chronological origin of microblade technology in Northeast Asia remains a widely debated concern, not only as new data emerge, but also due to researchers having different definitions of the term “microblade” and “microblade core”. In this case, by microblade technology, I refer to the systematic production of microblades using the pressure knapping technique. I therefore review the data in light of this defining feature and conclude that, based on the present state of research, pressure knapping microblade technology probably emerged in the Far East (China, Korea, or Japan) around 30,000–25,000 cal BP, in spite of most authors considering that microblade technology emerged in southern Siberia 40,000–35,000 years ago. In the discussion section, I argue about the potential role of obsidian in the emergence of pressure knapped microblade technology.
