The Ordos Culture existed in Upper Palaeolithic China. They used the chopping and rock tools of the Choukoutienian. The points and sides of their tools indicate a "Moustero-Levalloisian" element. They seemed to have a masterful knowledge of Upper Palaeolithic technology, producing blades as much as fifteen centimeters long.
