Jeongok-ri Archaeological Site (English name) Jon'gok-ri
A Paleolithic site in Jeongok-ri, Yeoncheon-gun, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. It was discovered by American soldiers in 1978. Surveys conducted from 1979 to 1980 revealed that stone tools were found in five separate areas on hills about 60m above sea level on both sides of the Hantan River. The strata containing the stone tools are divided into three layers: brown clay, reddish-brown clay, and yellowish-brown clay. The stone tools discovered include various bifacial core tools, cleavers, choppers, chopping tools, and polygonal spheres, and are mostly made of quartz and quartzite. It has attracted attention as the discovery of West Eurasian-style stone tools in East Asia.
