This study is based on the stone artifacts of the Machang Culture in the Zhuanglang River Basin. By analyzing the relationship between lithic technology and economic patterns, and integrating considerations of regional environment and subsistence strategies, it explores the technological adaptation, resource utilization, and social development characteristics of Late Neolithic humans. Through field surveys, typological analysis, and other methods, the study reveals the relationship between the functions of stone artifacts and subsistence economy, elucidates the coexistence of old and new phenomenon in the Machang Culture of the Zhuanglang River Basin, and provides new perspectives for prehistoric cultural research in the Gan-Qing region.
