英文摘要	It has been suggested that the small-tool' and microblade Upper Palaeolithic industries coexisted in the Nihewan Basin of northern China for about 8-14000 years during Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 2. This inference was based on uranium-series ages of around 15 and 18ka for bovid teeth recovered from the latest' small-tool site of Xibaimaying - the youngest occurrence of such tools in the region - and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of the earliest typical microblade site (Youfang: approximate to 26-29ka). In this study, we re-dated the Xibaimaying site using single-grain OSL methods and the resulting ages indicate that the cultural layer was deposited 46 +/- 3ka ago, during MIS 3 - more than 20 millennia earlier than previously thought and older also than the so-called earliest primitive' and typical microblade tools found at Zhiyu (approximate to 31-39ka cal BP) and Youfang. These new ages for human occupation of Xibaimaying remove support for the parallel development of the small-tool and microblade industries in the Nihewan Basin during the Upper Palaeolithic, but reliable age estimates from additional sites are needed to confidently infer the nature of the chronological relationship between these two Upper Palaeolithic industries and the associated toolmakers.; China Scholarship Council; University of Wollongong [201206010053]; Australian Research Council [FT140100384]; National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) [41471003]; Australian Research Council Australian Laureate Fellowship [FL130100116]; SCI(E); SSCI; ARTICLE; 4; 540-552; 32
