“…Current views suggest this event did not occur much before 40 ka, with entry through the Korean Peninsula (Kudo and Kumon 2012;Takashi 2012). The Korea Strait is ca 200 km wide, but stepping stone islands might have reduced the maximum crossings to ca 40 km.…”

This paper updates our previous analyses of the evidence for the timing of human arrival in Sahul. It reviews advances in dating technologies, summarises new data for sites published a decade ago or earlier, and examines the evidence from sites published since 2004. Extensions in time for first arrival can be attributed to improvements in both luminescence and radiocarbon dating techniques and especially the refinement of 14 C calibration. The similarity of the ages of the earliest dates and their consistency with data from eastern Asia and Wallacea suggests that the discipline has now defined an event horizon that places first colonisation near but somewhere short of 50,000 years ago.

“…Sea level changes were most pronounced in East and Southeast Asia. In East Asia, a fall in sea level of 120 m added 2 million square kilometers of coastal plain (Liu and Ding 1998:140) and briefly conjoined Hokkaido with Sakhalin Island but left Paleo-Honshu (Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku) isolated across the Tsuguru Strait (Kudo and Kumon 2012;Yokoyama et al 2007). In Southeast Asia, a comparable fall created Sunda, which conjoined mainland Southeast Asia with Sumatra, Java, and Borneo (Voris 2000).…”

“…BP, corresponding with the start of the Bølling-Allerød phase. The increasing site numbers and intra-site artifact densities in the southern Lesser Khingan Mountains indicate that demographic expansion occurred during this period (Yang et al 2017a), which is further testified by the archeological and genetic evidence in the context of East and Northeast Asia (Buvit et al 2016;Kudo and Kumon 2012;Wang et al 2014;Zheng et al 2011). Under such circumstances, the imbalance between population size and natural resources probably began to accelerate, which could have prompted foragers to decrease mobility and innovate technological strategies towards diversified and intensified exploitation of local floral, faunal, and lithic resources.…”

The study of lithic raw material plays an important role in developing archeologists’ understanding of the different adaptive strategies and behaviors of prehistoric people. In this paper, we present new evidence from the Huayang site that reveals lithic raw material procurement and exploitation strategies dating to around 14 ka cal. BP. The Huayang site is located in the southern portion of the Lesser Khingan Mountains in Northeast China, a key region for examining migration, diffusion, and interaction among hunter-gatherers in East and Northeast Asia. Our results indicate that diversified lithic raw materials were found and procured from local riverbeds and reduced at the site. Each raw material was reduced with distinctive knapping strategies and, as a result, there is a strong discrete spatial pattern for each of the different raw material types. Intra- and inter-site comparative analyses suggest a uniform trend towards localization and diversification of lithic raw materials in the southern Lesser Khingan Mountains, Northeast China during the Late Glacial, which seems to be associated with the paleoclimatic amelioration and the demographic expansion during this period.
