Zhoukoudian

Zhoukoudian - inngangspartiet til funnsted og museum for Pekingmennesket.

Zhoukoudian (kinesisk: 周口店, pinyin: Zhōukǒudiàn, Wade-Giles: Choukoutien) er et subdistrikt sørvest for Beijing i Kina.[1] Et grottesystem i nærheten av byen har vært sted for mange arkeologiske oppdagelser, blant annet en av de eldste eksemplarer av homo erectus, kalt Pekingmennesket. Stedet er et av UNESCO-listede verdensarvsteder.

Sprekker i kalksteinen som inneholder levninger fra midtre pleistocen-era har avslørt rester av omkring 40 individer såvel som dyrerester og steinfliser og hakkeverktøy. De eldste er ca. 500 000 år gamle.

I den eldre steinalder ble stedet bosatt av homo sapiens, mennesket. Deres verktøy av bein og stein er også oppdaget i den øvre grotten.
