摘　　要：INTRODUCTION Recent technological readings of stone artefacts from Guanyindong Cave site;south-west China,have identified the Levallois strategy in sedimentary deposits dated to approximately 170000-80000 years ago.Some specimens in the assemblage are susceptible to misinterpretation.Here,we provide further detailed descriptions of these specimens to clarify that they possess attributes consistent with the Levallois concept;as it has been widely employed elsewhere.We welcome the contribution by Li et al[1]to the debate about the Levallois concept found in Guanyindong.Detailed discussion of terminology;definitions and assemblage descriptions plays an important role in clarifying new claims about the human past.We are pleased that Li et al.
