Abstract

A piece of human skull fossil with 10 cm in height, 11 cm in width, 0.6-2.2cm in thickness and 231.0g in weight was found in recent years in the site of Paleolithic and Neolithic times in northeast of China, which was deemed to be a part of the frontal bone of the skull in the age ranged from 1700 thousand years to 40 thousand years before. The ancient people of China carved pictures of human heads in different sizes on its double surfaces with the techniques of micro-carving and micro relief carving. The micro-carved figures had different posture and vivid expressions, and they were arranged in order, which was to tell their inner relationship properly. Surface information including figure and micro-figures and their expressions, wearings and posture left on the skull fossil was a clue to detect the era of the carvings in Neolithic times, and the state of the fossil may help to know the year of the owner of the skull in Paleolithic times or even earlier. A man wearing a crown was located on one surface, who was the main god or master, surrounded by hundreds of micro-carved man or woman, young or old, who was his offspring or liegemen; while on the other surface, a young man with a human face and a snake body was carved, together with his head bowed and his arms raised in the form of a strong man holding the sky, which might be connected with a mythologic story of Nvwa Patching Up the Heaven in ancient China.
