It can not only undertake the experimental teaching of the basic course "Paleolithic Archaeology" for undergraduates, and the experimental teaching of the course "Paleolithic Archaeology", but also provide support for undergraduate independent innovation project research, postgraduate professional training and education, and teachers' scientific research.
