The Xiaonanhai Culture ( Chinese  小 南海 文化 , Pinyin Xiǎonánhǎi wénhuà , English Xiaonanhai Culture ) is a Upper Paleolithic culture in northern China.

It was discovered in 1960 in Xiaonanhai , 30 km southwest of Anyang , Henan Province , hence its name. The earth layers in the cave can be divided into seven layers, all fossils belong to the late Pleistocene . According to radiocarbon dating , the second and third layers belong approximately to the period 9550 to 8550 BC. Chr .; the sixth layer approximately in the period from 22,650 to 21,650 BC. Over 7000 relatively small stone tools ( microliths ) and a large number of animal fossils were excavated.

According to the theory of Chinese researchers, the Xiaonanhai culture is said to have continued the culture of the Peking man and opened the ages of the microlithic cultures of the Mesolithic and Neolithic .
