Clear evidence exists that humans occupied the cave.
The researchers found stone tool cut marks on the animal bones, many instances of burnt bone, and strange collections of bones and teeth from animals that could not have lived in the cave, like the Stegodon. Early humans used the cave, known as Panxian Dadong, through the time of Mao and up to the present. The conference will take place from March 14th through the 17th. One of the most interesting finds, says Schepartz, was the overwhelming percentage of teeth. About 30 percent of the animal remains found are teeth.
