Relics Dug Up Prove
Chino Had a Stone Age
, IMscoverie’s made In China by J. <1.
Anderson, a Swedish scientist, estsb-
llsh, in ^ils belief, Hist China hr.d a
Stone age. At Fengtien the expedition
beaded by Professor Anderson exca
vated a (“ave about S by IS feet. In it
were found bones from about 40 hu-
nan bodies and a large number of
objects, none of which was of metal.
Ttfe objects included arrowheads,
stone axes, bone awls, curious stone
rings and a tiny piece of animal sculp
ture made of garble, fragments of re
markable vessels, some with pressed
geometrical patterns pud others with
a polished red surface ornamented
boldly In black. Professor Anderson
dates.the cave to the transition be
tween the Stone age and the Hronr.e
■age, or about L’OOO-irtOO It. C.
Large collections of remains also
were found at Yang Shan, Including
specimens of red and black ceramic
•objectfe similar to those found at Feng
tlen. Heretofore leading experts on
Chinese history have held that there
was on evidence of a Stone age Trtf
