  abstract = {{T}he {S}huidonggou site is one of the most important for prehistoric research in {C}hina, yielding evidence of ancient human colonisations in {N}orth {C}hina during the {L}ate {U}pper {P}leistocene. {S}ituated in the {O}rdos desert, it was first discovered and excavated by {T}eilhard de {C}hardin during the first half of the 20th century. {H}e noted the originality of the lithic assemblages produced on blades and flakes, comparable to the {U}pper {P}alaeolithic in {W}estern {E}urope. {T}his open-air site in loess context dates from ca. 17,000 to 25,000 {BP} and may be earlier than 30,000 {BP}. {T}he principal objective of this paper is to present the technical aspects of the {S}huidonggou lithic assemblages using a technological approach based on the dynamic analysis of blanks and cores in a global overview of the chaine operatoire concept. {T}he goal is to understand the knapping strategies used: were both {L}evallois and non {L}evallois methods used? {T}he importance of {S}huidonggou is thus linked with the question of the use of the {L}evallois method.},
