Introduction The New Cave Man Site is located at the southeastern corner of the Longgu Mountain in Zhoukoudian. Discovered in 1973, it is a valuable ancient human site. Inside the cave, one tooth, stone tools, and a large number of animal fossils were found. The tooth is from the upper left jaw of an adult individual.
