The Donghulin Man Site was discovered in 1966 by students of the Department of Geological Geography at Peking University during their fieldwork in Mentougou District. It was designated as a key cultural heritage site under Mentougou District protection in 1985. Since the burial site is located at the bottom of Holocene loess and the top of Malan loess, researchers have classified it as belonging to the early Neolithic Age. The human bones in the grave show slight fossilization and belong to three individuals: a girl about 16 years old and two adult males. They have been named “Donghulin Man.”
