Abstract: The Paleolithic site found in Dongfang Square Wangfujing in Beijing is a late Paleolithic cultural site. It consists of two cultural layers. The TL age of the sample from the upper layer we obtained is (1.5- 1.9)×10⁴a B.P. and the age of the lower layer is (2.2- 2.6)×10⁴a B.P.. This site is located on a plaeo-levee of a river and is a place of ancient human activity during a short period. This discovery has a important significance for studying the relationship between human active history and paleoenvironment evolution on Beijing Plain.
