Title:	Glacial cycles and palaeolithic adaptive variability on China's western Loess Plateau
Date:	2011
Source:	Antiquity
Abstract:	Intensive research on China's Western Loess Plateau has located 63 Palaeolithic deposits, which together allow the authors to present a general model of hominin occupation from 80,000 to 18,000 years ago. Tools, subsistence and settlement correlate nicely with the climate: the warm wet MIS3 seeing expansion and more organised acquisition of quartz, and the Late Glacial Maximum that followed, a reduction in human presence but possibly an increase in ingenuity.
